The risk assessment for the competition needs updating for SR2026 and publishing to schools. This should consider the risks posed by competitor-made roobts, LiPo batteries and power tools, and how we handle these. The runbook has details of what the current battery protocol is, for example: https://studentrobotics.org/runbook/competition/team-support/battery-charging/#safety See also the notes at #822 (comment) and onwards.
Alongside this we should ensure that our incident response plans are current & applicable to the selected venue; we should update them as needed.
Futhermore we will need a means to record and store details of any incident or near-miss occurring. At bare minimum this needs to store what happened and why, and what follow up occurred.
SR has an incident record book which was purchased for this purpose. We should check that it is still suitable & usable.
