Re: pic: FRC Robots are the best mode of transportation!

Let me ask a few very serious questions.

Is your few minutes of fun worth the school and team liability that would result if something were to happen? You're risking getting your team shutdown, thrown out of the school, or sued. Or perhaps the result could be permanently maiming someone. Can you, PERSONALLY, step up and say you'll pull out your wallet to pay for all the liability and the potential medical bills if something were to happen? The rise in insurance? Finding a new place for your team to meet?

This is as much about personal responsibility as it is about safety. Those who are blowing it off are showing a remarkable lack of both.

To the driver who posted: it's good to hear that you were thinking about safety. I don't think many of these posts are directed at you so much as the people who simply want to ignore the possible consequences all-together.
