Re: UL Safety Award at GTR

I don't think anyone from 1141 actively posts here, but as an alumni, I asked them what they did to win GTR safety last year when I was at Waterloo. They said they tried to do things that were genuinely safe around their robot, such as strapping it down when moving, always wearing gloves, handing out free safety glasses (I still have mine from their 2007 pits). They said they were less active in the safety evangelism (putting posters everywhere, 'bump' signs, robot safety wardens, etc), but try to focus more in things that keep their team safe around their robot, on the field, and in the pits. They were runner-ups in Atlanta last year for the world safety award, so there is probably much more to it than what I've posted.
