he GDC addressed the "pinkie" problem with their update last week. Students who grudgingly accept that they can lose a game by putting their hand in the arena, and thus will try to avoid the penalty (and the wrath of their alliance partners) are students who are NOT losing an arm to a fast-moving machine.
I work at a major chemical company. Safety is #1. Safety trumps everything. Always.

All we need is one roboteer injured at a match. It may not seem to be obvious but you, the roboteer is the most important thing. I think the penalties are harsh, but I'm not willing to exchange your safety for a better score.

G40 is harsh. Sorry. To be honest, I don't like robot competitions that the "human player" makes a difference. Robot drivers good, interaction in the game, not so much. But the rule is about safety. Deal with it. Or don't put a human player out.
