In the linked article it says that submissions open on "Thursday, November 8th", but November 8th is a Wednesday. I am going to assume that you mean Wednesday, November 8th. I just wanted to inform you of the error.

Thank you so much for pointing this out. We have made changes to this blog, the safety page, and the Season Calendar to reflect the correct date: Thursday, November 9, 2017.

Safety Video Question

Submitted by Justin Zheng (not verified) on Fri, 11/03/2017 - 7:13pm

Question about the safety video requirements, specifically this part:

The arcade game shown in the animation should simulate safe living and working environments for its characters by utilizing safety science and hazard based safety engineering related power up elements throughout the game.

Does this mean we show a physical environment (laboratory, pit, etc.) with safety devices or can we have roboticists practicing safe habits in an arbitrary environment? Also, are power-ups limited to the classic arcade game power-ups such as Mario mushrooms or can it be more abstract? Right now, we have a Pokemon style game where "moves" are safety items or behaviors.

Thanks!
