Safety Saturday
Some build leaders may teach new build members how some machines work
All members, new and old, must attend a Saturday or else you won’t be allowed to handle pretty much anything in the robot room
After the powerpoint, you will be shown where exactly the safety equipment will be for the entire year
The first aid kit by the 3d printers, the fire extinguisher by the door, the batteries and their holding area & straps, the battery spill kits, and your new best friend, the safety glasses closet
Some techniques like heat shrinking and soldering might be taught
THERE WILL BE A QUIZ AND YOU WILL FAIL IF YOU DON’T PAY ATTENTION
That said, this isn’t just to memorize so you can get on the team; every now and then, remind yourself, “ok, that’s where the fire extinguisher is.”
