I didn't see any enforcement in the pit at all. The only time i heard warnings and such were on the fields before play. I saw many many people in the pits without safety glasses and no one told them anything. The pits were quite chaotic and such tho, so many random people walking in and out, so i guess it would be near impossible to patrol everyone.

Re: Tackle that person with no safety glasses
While I generally wear my safety glasses constantly (I tend to forget i'm wearing them), the control placed on them at Philly bordered on insane. There was a volunteer who constantly walked through our area of the pit screaming at us to get them on.
On two seperate occasions, I remember being yelled at. Once, I was 6-10 feet from any pits, leaning against a wall, head down reading some papers. Alright, fine. The part that really got to me was the time she yelled at one of our engineers who has prescription safety glasses about it. When he explained that his glasses could probably take a hit better than the safety glasses we wore, she told him that he should still put some on because he forgot his side shields. Since I wasn't doing anything on the bot, I gave him mine, but then she personally escorted me out the door of the pits, outside. It was insane. I understand the importance of the glasses, but a kind reminder that FIRST is not responsible for the loss of your eyes would have done instead of the screaming. |
