Petition to end the shouting of ROBOT

[Siri]

I propose that if a letter is actually drafted for FIRST HQ, it be centered not just around safety advisers mandating "ROBOT!", but around better safety advice in general, including but not limited to:

1. Advocating the Polite Vanguard Technique
2. Further encouraging pit activities to be confined to the pit (namely by the safety advisers advising any team that cannot contain its equipment, personnel and visitors to change one of the former)
3. Examining the practices required and rewarded by safety advisers and the safety award (safe or spectacle? how are advisers trained?)

Thoughts?

It's what...err, one, two, three...seven* years old? I'd really like to know how it became tradition in the first place. Was it at a Green Shirt meeting in 2007 or something? The UL winner at Championships? (I actually don't remember in the Mid-Atlantic until 2008.)


*wait, no, seven? seriously, seven? I don't want to be old
