I think IKE hit it on the head. To many things are going around to promote safetly that are just getting in the way and actually becomming unsafe or annoying. Plus look at all the paper teams waste and just through away after a match with all of those flyers that go around. Last year our team got handed 3 different brooms FROM THE SAME TEAM. It is just a waste what some teams hand out trying to get the safety award.

One of the other things I see is when a teams starts to designate people from their as safety cops at the events. They have thier students patrol high traffic areas, and they only thing they do is get in the way. If you were not standing there people can walk on one side and the robots can go on the other. We all have eyes and keep out of each others way. Instead of making the kids be a safety cop and just stand in one spot all day, let them walk around and see matches and have fun. All they are doing at that high traffic area is making it even more unsafe.
