Safety should be celebrated in the same way that excellence is celebrated. If everyone on your team during the build and competition season stays injury free and goes home in one piece every night, that is cause for celebration - regardless of how your robot performed, your team did it exactly right in the aspect that matters the most.

Because the alternative is much, much worse. No event or match or championship is worth risking injury to people. This is clearly evident because out of bounds and unsafe robots are disabled during matches.
