Tackle that person with no safety glasses

[Curtis Williams]

Our team is pretty lax about wearing safety goggles, and we were only reminded once when a judge passed by and saw us working. Were more afraid of large, blunt objects since our robot last year was very clumsy.

Stephen - you had a guard in the pit area at regionals? I dont remember seeing any at KSC except a very serious looking guy from the swat team near the stage during the award ceremony.

Yeah, at LA, we got ten points taken off the next match if you were caught without safety glasses. The sad part about this was, i dont think it was enforced fully. I only saw one match get penalized for it, while everyone else got warnings. It sux for the one team i saw get points taken away, because not everyone else that violated the rule did.

In Sacramento 10 point penalties in the next round were threatened for not wearing safety glasses. I'm not sure if any penalties were ever administered, though.
