Re: belaying device
The exact location is only important from a safety stand point if you are doing a level 3 climb. For most of the teams they will be on the robot to satisfy the rules. While the field people might require them to be used for a lower level climb, the CG of the robot will lower.
The only people close enough to get hit with the robot should be the ones actively taking the robot off the tower. They should be situationally aware enough not to get hurt if things do not go as planned. I appreciate your mentor's concern, but there is a lot difference between a primary lift point for a 100 ton motor & a controlled fall device for a 150 lb robot.
