I've seen it often enough not to take it for granted.

I think this is a problem. They are supposed to be Safety Advisors. Not inspectors. Unless they can point to a rule (either in the FRC manual, the venue guidelines, or something like the NEC), I do not believe their opinions should be considered any more binding than those of any other volunteer.

I have seen a Safety Advisor tell a student he must wear gloves when using a power drill. I have had Safety Advisors tell me they wanted to encourage the practice of continuously shouting "Robot!" when moving a robot anywhere outside a pit. I do not take them for granted, but neither do I take them as law.
