Here is our first set of rules:

1) No more than 4 students in the pit at once---The two students assigned, the pit manager, and one other. This is due to the fact that last year, we were working in close quarters and there were way too many people.
2) Tools used must be put back.
3) Students that sign up to be in the pits need to be...we need to be staffed and before the previous members leave, their relacements better be on station.
4) Always wear safety glasses..common sense, but WE WILL GET BUSTED IF WE DON'T DO THIS!!
5) No rude behavior--this is the time we showcase ourselves to other teams.
6) Always yeild space, etc. to the students who have work to do.
7) Our pit area isn't your locker! Keep your stuff out of the way.

And here's some more I added:

1. It is really important that everyone know what to say to judges and/or inspectors. They may come to our pit at any time to inspect the robot or ask about our team for the possibility of getting an award. We should schedule a meeting so everyone can be informed of what to tell judges and inspectors. The more you know the more they are impressed.
2. We need to keep a running list of what parts or tools we lend or give other teams and what other teams lend or give us.
3. Whenever the Operator interface is plugged in or the robot is turned on in the pits, the radios MUST be disconnected. This is the graciously professional thing to do as to not cause interference during matches. The robot may only be operated by a tether.
4. Please keep cell phones off as much as you can. They only lead to more glithcing with the signal during matches.
5. Be proud of our robot. Let scouts from other teams know what it can do as this may help with us being picked for finals.
