We did it with the regional AVA. If enough people compalin to the right people maybe we can get them to change this as well. It's better than just gnashing out teeth and throwing up our hands.
We gotta fight for our rights guys. So let's use the resources at hand and do so. Otherwise FIRST will become the cesspool that everone calims it's turning into now.

I agree with you on this one, but what if it where to be changed so that if you display safety with those tools to a safety judge, your team earns the right to use those tools. This would give FIRST the ability to regulate who uses their own tools based on how safe they can be with them. If you don't secure down the piece of sheet metal you are drilling, then your team shouldn't be able to use those tools. This would keep people and teams extra safe, and reduce the burden on FIRST as well. If you want to keep using that bandsaw, you had better use it carefully or we outlaw your team from using it. Plain and simple.
