Okay now what I don't get here is the definition of "hands." What if the hands are gloved? We got gloves in the kit of parts. Is the definition of "hands off" up to the interpretation of a reasonably astute observer? What if our observers are not astute, or are unreasonably astute? Or can the reasonably astute observer touch the robot with gloves, or does he or she need to be wearing gloves, or is this person only allowed to watch someone else touch the robot through the bag, since he or she is an observer? If this reasonably astute observer enters an argument with another student over the legality of touching the robot through the bag, does that mean the observer is becoming unreasonable? And therefore, if not he or she is not reasonable, would he or she also no longer be astute, thus invalidating the whole operation?

And I'm hearing we need a "Lock Up" form. What if our robot is locked down rather than locked up? And what exactly is the definition of locked? Can we open the lock? Does it need to be a padlock or door lock, or will a simple clasp suffice?
