I am sorry, FIRST awards are not a joke, at least for us. If we are comparing the safety at FIRST events to industrial safety... they are like apple and oranges. The UL safety award represents the team that best represented the safety among all the teams competing at that event. This is not like a certification to the team.
Anyhow, when accidents do happen, the action was unintended. It could be due to many reasons, like bad piece of program or failure of a sensor etc. This is why we need to exercise safety.
