Hazard on Dome Floor

[Matt Goulart]

I wonder if that is why my hotel key card stopped working after the first day

When breaking down the fields and moving the carts around... the cart of electronics kept shocking me too... and nearly every time I stepped off the Segway and walked around I was zapping people. This is pretty funny! (In a sciency kinda way)

On team 847 we were giving out those magnetic flashers... at our regional we were playing with them and the hotel keys and demagnetized the key... we tried to warn people when we handed them out this time, but that may have been your problem... it was funny, because i demagnetized my key four times this trip, just by being silly and forgeting about it...

I also noticed the static eletricity on the floor when I was down there (which was briefly since I was doing media). I'm used to causing static eletricity though so I wasn't concerned when I shocked my adult mentor once or twice. Luckily though...none of the electrical equipment I was handling seemed to have any problems. I'll let you know if I get back to my meetings and all my tapes are blank or something.

Come to think about I had to get like three or four new keys after each day.

I also was shocking people and doors like crazy. We had fun counting how many shocks we could give per day. I won with 22 on Friday. Luckily I was not around very many electronics so nothing was ruined though one of my roomates had to replace his key
