Re: UCF regional!
We had a huge problem with the moisture Friday morning. Also, the tent got a little crowded which made it hard to get robots through. I remember thinking about how safe it was with all of these tools, plugged into some sort of electrical extension cord system or whatever it was, while it was raining (and the humidity). I felt that at any point, the wood floor could just light up, on fire, and everyone would be scrambling to get out through those two narrow entrances that are always blocked by robots in the first few pits, as well as any robot currently passing through the entrance way, the stacks of bins (which I don't expect to be there this year), and the fence that was blocking the other end. The wood floor appeared to be the biggest problem. The crowd of people and narrow entrances were the other problem. The first day, the crates were there as well.
Maybe this year, the pits could be rearanged to make it safer and maybe the wood floor isn't very safe in a machine shop type environment.
I don't think I am going to UCF this year though since it will be during my 3rd quarter exams. My team should be there though.
