How many safety chips are teams getting at Regionals?

[Rosiebotboss]

Just curious......how many of the red safety chips has your team gotten at any of the Regionals your team has attended?

Out of the ones you have gotten, have most of them come from other teams (your supposed to give away 5 of the 10 your team got when your team checked in on Thursday) or have most of them come from the Safety Advisors?

Does anyone know if the number of chips is directly related to the UL Safety Award? I cannot find any link between the two in the Manual.

We were able to acquire 27. We won a Safety Chip award at the NJ Regional.

Wisconsin must have been a very safe regional. We got 35 chips and didn't even make honorable mention. I don't think that the kids even realized that we had them at Detroit, they were too busy working on the robot.

303 got about 27 or so safety chips in Jersey, and got recognition.
And in Annapolis, we got about 38-39 and got the full U.L. Safety Award.
It varies per regional I guess.

862 had 19 at Great Lakes and and 29 at Wisconsin.

[Dan Richardson]

1902 had something like 52 at the end of the day, but the winner had some rediculous amount like 104.

[Sara Milton]

237 had 24 in Hartford and 36 in Chesapeake

Team 176 got many safety chips from the safety advisors in both the BAE and UTC Regional. We ended up getting atleast 20 at each regional.

We totaled at St. Louis at about 23... about 15 of them were from saftey advisors... The team next to use ended up with about 32... Not sure who had the most though..

Wowie. At Boilermaker, we had somewhere between 25 and 30 whereas at Wisconsin, we had only 5 (though one of our students was the UL Saftey Star of the Day for Saturday).

At VCU we got over 30, I don't remember the exact number but I think it was like 35.

[Tetraman]

174 had 9 chips all together at the end of Buckeye. lol.

[Dan Petrovic]

I think we had 37 by the end of the BAE Regional. We were tied for 1st for the number of chips but we ended up winning the Safety Award.

[MrForbes]

I know we got a lot more at our second regional than we did at our first...probably because we discovered what it takes to make a nice, safe, orderly pit area. We added things like shelves, spare parts bins, broom/dustpan, and a "wear your safety glasses" sign.

And our team safety captain did a great job of keeping other team members alert to safety issues.

[Kyle Love]

We got over 30 at Boilermaker.
