If one of the green-shirted folk tells you to do something that doesn't make sense, try to comply without compromising real safety, and then ask him or her to join you in a conversation about it with the Lead Safety Advisor. (The alternative is to laugh and say "You have no power here. Begone before someone drops a robot on you!" And then suggest the conference.)

I've been told that judges will often confer with other volunteers at the event to ensure that judged awards will go to teams who are deserving in all aspects of the competition. Teams need to listen to the green shirted volunteers, be gracious, professional and graciously professional about it.
