+# Pit Rules
+
+In order to ensure everybody remains safe at the competitions, there are a few rules we require everyone to adhere to whilst in the venue.
+
+To provide a safe environment in which to use tools, we have a dedicated tools area, which offers additional PPE and equipment to clamp down your work.
+
+## General Rules
+
+- No battery charging in the pits.
+  Visit Helpdesk to swap discharged batteries for charged ones
+- No running inside the venue, especially when carrying your robot or anything sharp
+- Keep the floor area in your pits clear, as much as possible, especially when your pit is unattended
+- Avoid blocking or restricting walkways
+- Drinks or other liquids must have lids
+- Do not damage the tables or the venue
+
+## Tools Rules

+- Take all necessary precautions and consider your surroundings before using a tool.
+  The use of gloves and eye protection, where appropriate, is strongly encouraged
