Re: Safety Award

Add a horn to your robot cart. It has netted us safety tokens in the past, honking the horn in addition to yelling, "Robot coming through!" when traveling through the pits.

Lift with your knees, not your back, when transporting the robot (but hey, you probably already knew that one...), and always wear gloves when carrying the robot.

Safety fliers and handouts work, too. An enthusiastic safety captain who shows the judges not just his/her, but the whole team's dedication to safety is always a plus, as well.

Generally, try to keep your pit area clean. I'm guessing you probably already knew that one, with the number of safety awards to your credit, but it still bears repeating.

Good luck in getting the safety award in Atlanta!
