THAT scenario has actually happened to our team when another team was "practicing" with their robot, lost control, and literally RAN one of our mentors over.


Agreed, they should always be up on blocks anywhere outside the field or a practice area. Even then, everyone needs to be aware of their surroundings... I was at a practice field at one point where another team was trying to control their robot and it was driving erratically and nearly mowing down his own teammates. I stepped well back...

I'm new to FIRST and the FRC experience so I am very much learning by "trial by fire" but one thing I do really appreciate is all the attention to safety and cleanliness.
