I know this is now venturing a bit OT but this sort of thing gets me on my other soapbox regarding safety in the pits. The "Green Shirts" need to be looking at behavior all over the pits, not just inside individual 10'x10' areas... The amount of people running through the pits or robot carts being pushed at top speed is staggering. This is probably way more unsafe than anything teams are doing working on their robots.
