Re: Glove Talk

You should keep a box of rubber gloves with you for if a battery leaks, but there is no requirement otherwise. If your robot has uncomfortable protrusions where you lift it and/or lacks handles (for the past three years my team has incorporated handles into the frame perimeter, which is quite handy) then you may want a pair of work gloves to lessen the discomfort caused by lifting and carrying it.

On the topic of wearing gloves while using machines, I would recommend highly against it. Anything extra that you don't need to be wearing is a safety hazard when using machines since it's just one more thing that could get caught up in moving parts.

As a final note, I would recommend that your team invests in a pair of safety glasses for each member. If you buy the glasses and get one of those cords that slips onto the end pieces of the glasses it allows you to always have safety glasses should you need them (when you don't need them they can just hang from your neck thanks to that cord). This is miles easier than only having a few pairs and needing to have to step out of the pit area (safety glasses ARE required there) and hand off a pair to a member who needs to get in. It's also just easier if you wear the pair around your neck or on your face at all times since they'll always be there when you need them.
