The biggest problem was stopping on the pad from a dead sprint (because naturally you want the robot moving as much as possible. It's not easy to do. I think at some offseasons in 2005, the pad was replaced with a hand button.

Was the problem the pads themselves, or the fact the the human player could disable the robot? I'd like to see something like that, but if the pressure pads weren't sensitive enough/too sensitive/had other problems, what else could be used?
