Re: Does your team have guidelines how to safely transport your robot ?
We normally have 2 guys on each end who are either going directly from the cart to the floor/bench/whatever or from whatever to the cart. Ideally, they don't have the robot long. And don't forget the safety gloves!
As for shooting "robot", I think it's more for the sake of tradition and fun than anything. Most people realize that they're at a robotics competition and have an eye out. If you manage to sneak up on someone with a 120 pound machine, it's impressive. I think "ROBOT!" is more a rally call, akin to "We're headed out, wish us luck!".
