I always thought it *really* dumb that the teams were placed behind .5" worth of polycarbonate sheet, and had to wear safety glasses, while the judges, referees, and feild crew were placed *closer* to the robots, with no protection, and did *not* have to wear glasses. That's a good example to set.

Also, like was mentioned before, I believe the rule book only states that glasses must be worn while *working* on the robot. That makes sense to me. If FIRST really is paranoid enough to want people to wear safety glasses as long as they are anywhere on FIRST grounds, perhaps they should revise the rule book!

Just my thoughts...
