All volunteers, drivers, and coaches must wear eye protection while in the competition field areas or around the practice fields for the VEX V5 Robotics Competition, the JROTC National Championship, and the VEX U Robotics Competition. While we always recommend the use of safety glasses, they are not required for VEX IQ Robotics Competition participants. Teams demonstrating robots to Judges or guests must also wear eye protection. Eye protection in the pits will be left up to the discretion of individual team coaches, but we strongly recommend that eye protection be worn by anyone demonstrating or working on a robot, cutting materials, or near a working robot. When in doubt, wear your safety glasses.
