Re: 2010 Lesson Learned: The Negative

In regards to the Safety Award, enough is enough. I agree with all those above me that are tired of teams posting a million signs just so they can win the Safety Award. You don't have to do this at all. In 2008 our team won the award at Florida and got 2nd in Colorado; we didn't post a single sign. Yes we would yell "ROBOT" just so people would get out of the way, but we didn't go out of our way. We made sure everything we did in the pit was being done in a safe manner. We just did what every team should do anyway. And for that we won the award. In Colorado the Safety Inspectors actually talked with us to see what sorts of things we do as a team to teach/stress safety, I think that is how teams should "earn" the award. Otherwise its just becoming a joke.
