I understand the whole argument that dry ice could be considered a hazard to humans, but out of curiosity I am interested in how you think any amount of dry ice (let's be reasonable) could cause damage to the field or other robots.

I feel like dumping air from the pneumatic system is more dangerous to a robot simply from the moisture condensate in the tanks


By the way, at any standard temperature for a robotics venue, dry ice does not melt, but sublimes
