Field Static Solutions

[Rob]

Hello All,

It was speculated that static build up and discharge from machines to the corner player stations (Airlocks?) could have cuased some field system issues at regional events this weekend.

The purpose of this thread is for people to discuss suggestions to prevent this in the future. lets share some of our ideas here.

I suggest that FIRST modify the trailer design to include a ground wire that drags on the floor under the trailer. The wire could be fixed to the trailer tounge where it extends into the trailer body. The wire would be under the trailer and not visible.

This would also create a uniform solution rather than asking teams to take chassis grounding into their own hands.

Any other thoughts?

Thanks, and good luck!
