I saw at least three to four people pushing robots at Central Valley regional last weekend where hair was definitely touching robots.
At every event, the first thing I do on arrival is go visit 1492 Team Caution and get about two feet of caution tape. You know the stuff, 3-4 inches wide, yellow, black letters. I then ask one of the young ladies on our team to tie a nice bow in my ponytail using said tape. Works like a charm, keeps everything behind me and out of the machines.
