Following that logic:
"You can't visibly tell if a team has a safe robot. I don't doubt you or your team's skill to make a safe robot, but some teams aren't as savvy or experienced with making them safe. If a rule to allow robots at competitions is introduced, it only takes one incident (see any) to instantly ban them again. It's safer to just not allow robots at the events at all.
TL;DR it only takes one bad apple etc etc."
The reality is this isn't a soft pillow tossing competition. It's robotics. It's going to be more dangerous, and there is going to be a higher potential for mishaps. Robotics is what is it - the more you try and change it, the further you get from what it is. Don't change the game - change the approach.
