What is the required safety gear for team members during FRC Crescendo matches?

The requirement for team members during FRC Crescendo matches is to wear safety glasses and appropriate clothing. Safety glasses are crucial as they protect the eyes from potential hazards associated with robot operation, including debris or unexpected actions from the robot. Appropriate clothing includes items that are fitted properly and provide coverage to minimize the risk of injury, particularly in the highly dynamic and sometimes unpredictable environment of the competition arena.

None of the other options adequately cover the safety requirements as established by FIRST. While helmets, gloves, or knee pads may be beneficial in certain contexts, they are not mandated safety gear for FRC events. By prioritizing eye protection and suitable clothing, the guidelines aim to ensure a safe experience for all participants on the field.
