Safety plays a big part when it comes to Robotics. The safety rules and procedures are important in order to have a safe environment when building, testing, and operating the robot. This year, like last year, we will have safety as one of our main focuses; All members of TEAM 5172 were required to take a safety test that the safety committee created, and pass it with a 90% score or higher. This is important because when students are going to DRB or Hlucny Repair, they need to know what the different tools used are and how to use them safely. The test was on how to be safe when you’re working on the robot and general safety rules.
I enjoy reading all the team’s updates! Good luck, 5172.
