Re: End Safety Theater

At IE, most of the teams "yelling" robot were at least quiet about it. More like saying.

Except for one mentor who yelled it at the top of his lungs--and his team pit was near inspection, where robots were constantly moving. The LRI went over after one of those yells, muttering something under his breath about "enough is enough", and apparently asked him to tone it down--didn't hear him again all event.



I agree with efoote, though. I think more safety would happen if the metric used wasn't necessarily signs and theater, but actual incident logs and incident avoidance measures (including training, response plans, and reviews when incidents happen).
