OKAY...ALL THIS DISCUSSION IS POINTLESS!!!! 3 FEET... is 3 feet. Most adult males could hop above 5 feet at any given second. the discussion of people falling...dumb as well. think about it people. Any one can make it 3 feet in 1 second and have the controls. don't believe...actually try it!!!!! put your controls on a table and stand three feet away from this table. OOOOHHHH..suddenly it's not so far. You couldn't possibly trip unless you are trying to. And if you did trip...your hands..would no doubt brace you because you'd be reaching for the controls right.

The issue of disabilities...talk to first about it. Just complainng about your situation doesn't do anything..talk to first..and you know what they'll probably understand..but you have to talk to first before you post.

If their is anyone that still believs that this is a safety hazard...actually try a leap of 3 feet in about a second...and if you were really smart...you'd program your robot to continue doing it's pre-programmed activity until you touch your joysticks. This issue isn't that big of a deal. Sure the most sure-footed do fall..but this is like taking a step people...someone over-exagerated about he situation.
