Wiping down the HDPE with a wet cloth could dissipate the charge on the surface - the water and the wiper (you) complete a circuit to ground (assuming the person is grounded). I'd think it might help if FIRST did that between matches. Might also improve traction since dust & stuff would get wiped off. I don't think FIRST would go for anti-static sprays, since they would leave a residue which might affect traction.

That would work until the robots started driving up and down it then both the robot and the hdpe would have a charge again.

Does that mean that static electricty works on noise?
|
Errr what does that mean???? Im confused static electricity is totally unrelated to noise. The noise you hear is exactly what thunder is.

Afrer all, it's not the voltage, it's the current that causes the real damage.

Not true either. If you have an electronic component that is rated for 6volts and it gets 100volts from a static spark it is going to die on you.
