Re: Safety Issue: Robots Moving in Pits

There are so many rules you can make and try to enforce...still it will never be foolproof.

Everyone in the team who can turn on the robot must be trained to operate it safely. This is imperative this season, not just the rogue drive can hurt someone, with many robots designed with extended actuators can easily maim someone. In FIM Howell district event, during a match the refree had to dodge a swinging arm. If the robot operators cultivate this habit to ensure robot operates in safe environment.
