safety glasses??why??

[s_forbes]

I know exactly where you guys are coming from, I'm usually way safer than I need to be. But I still stand by my original post, and I will continue to tinker on my own time without wearing safety glasses unless I see fit.

I thought it also might be worth mentioning that I have always worn my goggles when in the pits at a competition, and I wore them when working on the robot at our teams shop. Just because I don't completely agree with the rules doesn't mean I don't follow them.

Actually, I would much rather wear real goggles than those things. In the cases when I'm working on something where there is a significant chance of getting something in my eye (grinding, using the drill press, etc.) I want to have my eyes safe. Metal shards have no problem flying in over your glasses.


Sorry if I came off as some rebelious punk earlier, I didn't mean it.
