So this year we have created a large poster sized "Failometer". It is awesome I will try and post the document once I get my hands on it. We will have it up in our shop and have a marker that will mark what level of failure we are currently at, kind of like the fire warnings or the security threat level stuff.

That's pretty funny/clever.
It would be cool to see another meter rating achievements/successes alongside.
Edit: so as not to hijack the thread - in response to Andrew's Bacon Scale posted below - I was thinking along the lines of daily successes as well - looking at team-building development, organizational development, development of a business plan, developing a safety plan and practicing it. A big slice of bacon could be awarded to the team if they make it through build without any safety accidents or injuries - possibly rating it week by week. That way every team qualifies for the bacon in their shop. Not just CA winners or robot competition winners - although those certainly could earn a slab of bacon.

Just a thought.
