Are there specific safety protocols that teams must follow during FRC Crescendo?

Safety protocols are integral to FRC Crescendo, serving to ensure the well-being of teams, robots, and spectators during events. These protocols are not merely guidelines but essential standards that must be adhered to, fostering a safe environment for all participants. They encompass practices such as wearing appropriate personal protective equipment, maintaining a clear workspace, and abiding by specific operational procedures for both robots and interactions with audience members.

By following these safety protocols, teams minimize the risk of accidents and injuries, thereby creating a safer competition atmosphere. This focus on safety is critical in events involving machinery and live performances, where the potential for incidents can be significant if preventative measures are not strictly enforced. Teams are expected to comply with these safety standards and actively participate in the promotion of safe practices within the competition structure. Through such adherence, the safety of all involved is prioritized.
