Dear Santa, I would like alumni from the following teams as mentors: 1114, 111, 254, 2056, 71, 469, and 973. As well, if you could snag Adam Herd, Adam Freeman, Karthik, and Andy Baker, I promise a will be the best child ever for the next season

I'd also like 8 Talon motor controllers and a pair of tinted safety glasses.

I am in fact asking for (or getting myself) cool tinted safety glasses for Christmas

Yeah, a few years ago one of the game hints actually came out on Christmas eve. On the plus side, being able to think about the game hint made doing the dinner dishes a little more enjoyable.

I think that one was the "fault" of Lavery Claus. I hear that some elves have taken over hint delivery these days, though, and aren't quite that "mean."

Aren't they illegal in the pits at FRC competitions? I know when we recieved our safety glasses on my team that we were told they weren't legal to wear in the pits at competitions. But even if they are illegal in the pits, they'd be cool to wear anyways!

All I do in my ceramics class is make things in our teams colors (black and yellow) and using the first logo and ours.

I don't mean sunglasses-level tint, or something you'd wear welding, just something minor with a very slight green or gray tint. Obstructing vision would indeed be a bad idea especially with the sketchy lighting in a lot of venues.

If you want to be truly awesome, get a pair of Oakley bullet-proof sunglasses. Then carry around the receipt as proof that you are indeed wearing ballistic eyewear.

They were illegal a few years ago (2007 or 2008?) and there was quite a bit of grumbling and gnashing of teeth about it. I haven't seen that rule in the manuals the past couple years, and have seen tinted glasses at events (and even in the pictures on the FIRST webpage).

You can have blue, yellow, rose, etc. They need to be able to see your eyes. This means you would be able to see better in the pits or on the field in case lighting is not at the optimum level.

I use ones that go over my glasses and get them either at Cabela's or Bass Pro.

Thanks for finding that. Last year's rules are much less restrictive than the rules set in 2007:
