I'm new to FIRST and the FRC experience so I am very much learning by "trial by fire" but one thing I do really appreciate is all the attention to safety and cleanliness.

That happens to be the most fun way to learn, if you want to be on the safe side you can learn by asking questions though. Generally speaking I don't think having a robot driving around in a pit is a smiled upon action.
