DuPont (our main sponsor) is very, VERY strict on safety. In the robot build area, Safety Glasses are a MUST or you will be asked to leave. While you are working, watches, rings, and other dangley things must be removed and stored in a pocket or something. When you are working with certain tools, or are in the room while someone else is working on certain tools, hearing protection must be worn. If there is a serious injury to any member of the team while on DuPont property or at any of the events, we could loose the sponsorship from DuPont, so all of the students as well as the adults take safety very seriously
At all of the events, you'll see all of the MOE folks wearing their safety glasses in the pit area. If you attended the Duel on the Delaware, we even had 'goggle guards' posted at the entrance to 'pit way'.. the area where the general public was allowed to walk by all of the team's pits and see what was going on. Everyone within a given boundary was wearing safety glasses.

DuPont's safety record is the benchmark
all business strive for.
Their safety record is amazing!
We have mandatory safety training in November on a pair of Saturdays. You are required to attend one even if you're working in the PAW room.
If you don't you won't be an X-Cat. Simple as that.
