Although teams that show up without the correct tools may feel kind of silly, they can usually borrow crate-opening tools from another team.

What's really a problem is using a lock to secure your crate, but then forgetting the key!

Having a "What to Bring" checklist, and using it routinely, can help prevent these kinds of embarrassing moments at competitions. So far, I think we've discussed the following for crate-opening time:

--3 team members
--tool(s) and/or key for opening the crate
--safety glasses
