Since I've seen unconscious spectators removed on stretchers from baseball and hockey games, you're not helping my comfort level. I'll feel bad if ANY teams' robot falls from their pyramid, but that's their choice to try to climb. It's a choice to be a spectator, too, but a frisbee to the head causes a different kind of damage.
GKC's queuing areas are right where frisbees coming over the drivers' stations will be landing...it's not just spectators. I've been to other regionals with similar layouts; those side nets aren't going to protect everyone.
