Competition Safety

[sanddrag]

I don't think it is officially in the rules but I would say that teams should not use circular saws or chop saws over a 7" diamter blade in the pits. This should go to the same area that machining or grinding is done. Also, MOST teams (including mine) have had very dangerous battery charging setups. When the clips of the charger are on the battery terminals, it is basicaly making the battery terminal a lot bigger and if you drop a wrench or something on it huge sparks will go everywhere. Also, if you put the aligator clips in the connector, they are very close together and can easily short that way. Be careful.
