Re: Petition to end the shouting of ROBOT

From my understanding we didn't win the safety award at the Detroit event because of an issue we had with one of the safety judges. She stood in the aisle and would not move until we yelled robot. Instead, we walked around her.

Later, she said we bumped her with the robot when we walked around. I don't know if we did or not but after some discussion, I apologized. It didn't matter.

I heard she was the head safety judge at Troy. Hope you guys had fun there. I feel for you.


Someone also mentioned a dB meter. Another sore point with me. This is why we lost out on the safety award at the Traverse City event. The winning team had a dB meter. It didn't seem to matter because no one ever turned the sound down at the event. Does it really take a dB meter to tell you that it is too loud? When you can actual feel your head vibrating from the noise, it's too loud. We had our team members download sound meter apps on their phones and iPods.

We are planning to write a letter to UL. Just need to figure out where to send it.
