PR Question

Apologies for kinda necro-ing this thread, but GeeToo brought up a bunch of great points. Also important to have in the pit is space for everyone to move around. Our team has come up with a system of wristbands of some sort to be allowed into our pit area to limit the number of people inside at once. In a perfect world, only the people who need access to the pit will visit but alas, it's not really the case.

In terms of safety equipment, think about displaying a safety board with incident reporting forms and other safety procedures where judges can easily see it. Along with this, have a comprehensive first aid kit (think Boy Scout comprehensive. go above and beyond!) and a spill kit on hand.

Another important thing- be creative! Your pit should be both functional but also have your own flair on it. Include decorations and unique elements in your pit. Our team is planning on bringing a repurposed C&C mill computer to use with our 3D printers. We're allowing any teams that need a custom part to be made quickly to design and print them in our pit!

And always remember to have fun with it. Competitions are some of the most amazing experiences in FIRST after all the bonding you do for the 6 weeks of build. You made it this far- now you get to enjoy it!
