**FIRST EMAIL**/Safety At the Events, NEW Eye and Face Protection Policy and Student

[Kims Robot]

Also NEW this season, the adult in charge of registering the team must show at least four (4) pairs of approved safety glasses at registration, and will have to confirm that he/she has read and understands the NEW safety glasses policy.

Ugh, I wish my wireless card had worked at Boston... one quick search of CD lead me to this... while I spent two hours scouring the rulebook & searching the Q&A pdf to figure out where this came from at registration.

I have to agree with Billfred, this SHOULD be a rule in the manual if they are going to require it of teams. It was frustrating and felt like another "made up rule". It is of course my fault for not entirely reading this email when I got it, but it wasnt enforced at FLR, and pit admin at Boston couldnt point me to where the rule came from. (there is also some checkbox that says I have read the safety glass policy, but I was completely unaware of a specific safety glass policy).

And what is the point of the 4 sets? why not enough for all your team in the pits? or 20? or 13? Oh well... teams, remember to bring your safety glasses to registration!
