Re: Lesson Learned 2016 - The Negative

The speed at which robot carts were moving down the aisles was very dangerous. I have never seen so many teams, moving so fast with nobody walking in front of the cart.

I saw 3 people get clipped HARD in just the short time I was down in the pits.
One girl went to the ground. I went up to the pit admin and a safety advisor on two different occasions and was told the classic, "We'll look into it".

On Galileo, we were in K22, leaving the pit and stepping out onto the cart superhighway at our intersection, was risky business.

There needs to be education, supervision, and ENFORCEMENT of cart safety. Its out of control. FIRST is simply getting too big I guess.
