: Personally I did not mind the music DURING the competion. Now that's just me, and I know many people thought it was too loud, including my Dad who complained about it all the way home. It does add to the excitment and everything, but there is no reason why they can't turn it down a little. Now one thing that did kinda bugged me (and bugged our engineers even more) was on thursday (i'm pretty sure it was thursday but may have been friday) when we were trying to work on the robot. The music was being blasted into the pits. Now it didn't help that we were right by a speaker but for pete sake it was just too loud. When your struggeling to get a robot competition ready, loud music isn't always the best thing. For a while the music got turned off and all of a sudden we could hear what eachother was saying, it was wonderful. . .then it got turned back on. If thier gonna keep the music loud, turn it down in the pits.


In the pits it is very important to communicate with persons using power tools and the loud music make it very dangerous.

A lower vol. would be nice as I have hearing damage as it is by working with motorcycles, car engines and machinery.
The loud music conflicts with the constant ringing I have from loud noises.
Once your hearing is damaged by loud noises It cannot, in most cases be repaired.
The constant ringing is is a real bother.
