DuPont has always been safety conscious, they began business making explosives. Gunpowder is very unforgiving.
Eye safety is at the top of our list, not only for machine operators. A cut wire, a solder splash, any number of electrical failures or a mishandled pencil all will hurt and damage your eyes. If you are spending so much time working on this robot, insure that you will get to see it compete.
One of my favorite rules is "Don't talk to someone who is operating a machine unless (s)he is about to hurt themselves." When you are operating you should not allow yourself to be distracted by anything or anyone.
