It occurs to me that the poster from Raptacon never actually said they wanted to use helium on the robot, just during competition. I wouldn't have a problem if the team kept a stash of pre-filled helium balloons in the stands and used them to do a high-pitched "chipmunk cheer" or something like that.
Safety? He is an asphyxiant, and while the "breathe-helium-to-talk-like-a-chipmunk" trick is usually harmless, people HAVE been hurt doing it.
