Actually practicing safety in the pits with a vengeance would be even more impressive. Why not make a few posters, and then volunteer to be the safety captain? Give a short talk to the team about good safety in the pits, then stand around and enforce it with an iron fist. Or an aluminum one.

What I meant was a printout of the arena map, and the Teams would make their own path and meeting place in case of a fire or accident.

I hav a broomstick I can decorate, than beat people over the head for not following safety rules.

I could always try and make use of my materials after we finish building. And our team colors are Black and Yellow, perfect for using CAUTION! tape. I'll keep those in mind.

One other thing I've thought of recently is a Saftey checklist. You know, something I would use to check the pits every hour, on the hour, for any violations, and a designated "Pit Captain" would sign and verify with me. How should I approach this idea?
