Re: Event Predictions

After the week 0, human player blizzard game change, its going to be difficult for FIRST to argue that they thought of every reasonable safety scenario and took precautions. Is this the only one they missed or did they miss others?

If someone tries to cross the practice in front of robot that can fire 4 disks in less than 2 seconds they might get hit 2 or 3 times.

If a robot with its shooter deck tipped 60 degrees accidentally fires a high velocity shot, they could take out a light fixture and rain glass down on the practice field.

We've already talked about the high speed spinning wheels and getting robots down from the practice tower.

I must assume FIRST does a thorough safety review of their games designs, but in this case it sure looks like there are chances for injury that are more than just remote possibilities.
