UL Safety Award at GTR

As one of the teams given special mention (I believe it was: 771,772,1075) for this award, and the award given to 1141, I was curious as to what exactly the MegaWatts did.

I know they handed out a package with a pair of Safety Glasses and Work Gloves on Thursday. Did that win them the award on its own?

I know 1075 was told on Friday that we were in the top 2 or 3 teams in contention for the award, and I know we stepped it up BIG TIME on Saturday Morning. We had a large number of members around the venue with orange flags escorting any and all robots through the pit area keeping everyone safe (this was especially important with our own cart, as anyone who's seen it can attest to). We also had members stationed at the main intersection in the pits to keep traffic moving safely.

We felt somewhat slighted that we didn't get it, but we were more prepared to see it go to 772, who had placed first aid kits in all the venue's bathroom facilities, handing out safety videos, as well as posting signs all over the pit area.

Don't take this as any slight to 1141, I was just curious if there was more that they did that I just didn't see. Congrats 1141, on winning such a competed for award.
