Our team knew of some peoples concern about noise levels so we brought with us a box of about 200 ear plugs to hand out in the pits. Many people took advantage of them but not as much as I would have expected.

By the way... what was with the safety tickets... did ANYONE actually use them let alone use them properly?...

I believe we used the tickets properly. Correct me if I am wrong, but we were awarded tickets to fill out and hand in ourselves, but for each one were also given ones to hand to other teams. Since I am a very picky person about safety and not having time away from working on the robot, I only ended up handing out 2 of how ever many we got to other teams.
