Re: [FRC BLOG] This isn't a Robot, Housing, and Throwing Things
For those curious here is the link to what the first part of the blog title is referencing, and what the asterisk is for.
Also shout out to 1065 and 5872 for representing Florida in the video. (If you are a Florida team and I missed you sorry) |

Thanks Frank! Yes we all can grow up and be a little mature and show respect and gracious professionalism at FIRST events. If anyone of you are bored at the events, please bring your favorite book or coloring book and keep yourself busy!

Re: [FRC BLOG] This isn't a Robot, Housing, and Throwing Things
Will the enforce this any better than no seat saving?

Re: [FRC BLOG] This isn't a Robot, Housing, and Throwing Things
It may be a little bit easier to enforce. It's a little more obvious when UFOs are spotted airborne. Identifying the originator(s) may be a little less easy than spotting violations, but a couple of announcements of "Will the persons throwing paper airplanes from Section XYZ please cease and desist before event staff arrives to enforce cleanup" ought to do the trick.

Re: [FRC BLOG] This isn't a Robot, Housing, and Throwing Things
The bigger story here should be the video. It really is great (if you can get past the "hydraulic arms" part), its captures how powerful a tool FIRST can be for positive change, and why I support the program. I think they finally got their messaging figured out, now how do we spread this message farther.

Re: [FRC BLOG] This isn't a Robot, Housing, and Throwing Things
It's really cute how people think that there won't be paper airplanes everywhere just because there's a rule about it now.
Maybe if FIRST had said something 6 years ago when it first happened, there was a shot at that, but at this point they're closing the stable door well after the horse has bolted |

So does this also mean no more beach balls bouncing around the stands?

I'd also like them to make a point of mentioning lasers. For the past 2 years there has been a small group firing lasers around the dome. It hasn't gone unnoticed though they might think it has. Finally - it's time to print up some signs and hang them at the entrances to the stands. FRC Rules in the Stands 1. No throwing things. 2. No saving seats. 3. No lasers. 4. Clean up after yourselves! Then folks who are having trouble remembering the rules can be given a gentle reminder. We shouldn't need this sort of thing, but it's pretty clear that mentors from some groups simply don't keep a close enough eye on their team members. Finally - stop giving out so many copies of the programs, etc. Have them where they can be picked up, in the pits, by people who want them. That will deprive a lot of people of their ammo.

"It will be against the rules to throw things from the stands or bleachers at our events."
I wonder if the beach ball is originated from the floor, into the stands, if that would be permissible. |

What if drive teams accidentally throw stacks of paper into the stands then the people in the stands return it to them in plane form.

My point is the rule doesn't have to necessarily rule out beach balls, especially if the beach balls originate from the volunteers on the floor. |
