If you get something from lsdiodes.com (they sell LEDs so it wouldn't be that hard to use...) you get a free "Robots will kill you." sticker.

Not quite what FIRST is about, but oddly appropriate at the moment.

Re: First attacks old ladies

oh my... this reminds me of last year when we visited a nursing home. The robot was disabled and no one was near the controls but it drove forward and almost gave the poor old people a heart attack...

This wasn't really funny as it was happening, but knowing that the lady is all right and seeing it now 100+ times, it gets funnier every time I watch it!

Re: First attacks old ladies

Until today I didn't know that 'old lady' was a color.
And what does that say about Lavery (at the beginning sequence)?

Re: First attacks old ladies

The video of the practice session taking off and going in reverse OUTSIDE the intended playing field makes me say one thing:

Where the heck was that team's SAFETY officer during practice? It's never too soon to have someon on your team on-board to take care of such things. Glad to see that nobody got hurt.....at least that time.

ps: It did give me some great ideas for use of "cut-away" shots in a video though.,...

We put one of those on last year's transport, it gets a lot of laughes from the freshmen on the team. I wonder when they'll find out that its true.

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"........

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???
