Re: End Safety Theater
I agree that there may be over zealous teams or students that create what you call the "the safety theatre". However, it's great that teams take safety serious. Check out the posts on blue smoke, exploding air tanks and damaged robot parts. These threads alone should indicate that we all need to take safety seriously.
Safety is a culture that begins and ends back at your team meetings and facilities. Just don't talk the talk to win the award. Walk the walk and instil a safe environment and culture 24/7/365. You'll get noticed if you do and you are sincere about it.
You can be the most talented and brightest worker in your field but if you practice unsafe habits you may not have a job for long. Education and good habits start with FIRST in most cases.
