Re: First attacks old ladies
I hope y'all are joking:
Go back and read section seven (7) of the manual. Per 7.3, every team "should" review all the FIRST safety policies and procedures PRIOR to participating in an event.....so start that process today! Per 7.3.3, each team "should" appoint a safety captain. He or she will receive a special badge at each event....Again, why not start the process today during your own practices. Lastly, this year is a new guideline (7.3.1) about traveling together in GROUPS in strange cities during the regionals and at National. It's better to be safer than sorry. Nobody should be traveling alone (walking back to hotel, etc.) ever........... Safety isn't an "afterthought"........ |

Re: First attacks old ladies
Remind me again, what our personal safety at the regional (before, after, any time we leave...) has to do with a video of a robot driving towards an older woman???

Re: First attacks old ladies (lesson learned)
It has nothing (per se) to do with the original thread.....
Other than the fact that this team's robot "COULD HAVE" caused a serious accident at a practice session. yes, the original video was funny indeed, but it's also a reminder that each team should be cognizant of safety ALL OF THE TIME (in the shop, at practice sessions, etc.) That's all. just a reminder. |

Re: First attacks old ladies (lesson learned)
Yeah, people tend to stray off the original topic. But I was joking. If my team wanted any safety hazards they'd let me have a turn with the heavy machinery.

Re: First attacks old ladies
Give them a break guys! We're all human. When stuff goes really bad sometimes I'm a bit too busy thinking something roughly censored to be "oh no" to manage to do anything. It's perfectly understandable.
If you did notice the gap between the robot being turned on and the robot hitting was about 3 seconds. There were no more than 2 seconds between the man in the suit yelling "woah woah woah" and the motors stopping. Personally I think that pretty good. It can easily take at least 2 of the first 3 seconds for the person on the disable button realize the driver is not actually pressing the joysticks (most of all if that person is being a good safety officer and watching the robot very intently.) After that it is pretty evident it needs to be disabled since it is heading towards the lady. Personally though? With one second to spare and a robot speeding towards an old lady? I am not sure I'd have my wits about me to stop the robot in time. I mean nobody in that room even came back into reality enough to shout something until the robot had already hit. Even if they had disabled it instantly that robot was going at a decent speed and using the stock transmissions. Those CIM motors don't stop on command...they slow down slowly. The robot probably would have hit her anyway going at that speed. In order to not hit her the safety officer would have had to actually leave the robot on and the driver would have had to pull into full reverse...and even then...it might have hit depending on reflex times. Team safety is thinking ahead and knowing what to do in certain cases. Accidents happen even in very safe circumstances. If you guys have a "robot attacking old lady" drills regularly scheduled and an emergency response all planned out I'm impressed. However you'll have to bear with the rest of us being human...and just not able to foresee some things. |

Re: First attacks old ladies
I stil think FIRST should put up an autonomous code that turns around and fires balls into the crowd. Think about how much fun that would be. and it would be really hard to actually get hurt.
