Re: Event Predictions

I predict with a 3rd level climbing robot with non-automated climbing, things will be interesting.

A less seasoned driver is focusing on the climb. A hard impact on the wall makes them jump, overreact, etc. and they lose focus on the climb at a critical step and the robot takes a dive.

That leads to my prediction of the possibility of fire. Saw 2-3 motors smoke out in a epic match last year so the fire risk is my mind.

And I've taken a Frisbee to the head down. They hurt but as long as you don't catch one in the throat within the first 10 feet or so, I don't think we'll see decapitations.
