Yes we wear masks and we have a shop vac running when ever any cut is being made. The fiberglass is itchy, Duct Tape works good at getting most of it off. washing hands and using a towel helps too! You just get used to the itching after awhile.
The ease of using the fiberglass more than makes up for it, especially if you have to make somthing during competition.
It seems ironic to me that a robotics competition would come down to human error, which is precisely what the field of robotics attempts to prevent. - David8696 [more]
