That is an entirely different issue that is unrelated to the robots running on the floor of the pit. Gloves are not always the right PPE for every situation so the short answer is no. Let's not devolve into a slippery slope argument because that was not my intention, I promise.

But it stands to reason that if people can't be on the field when robots are running during a match (or even put their hands over the wall a tiny bit to feed a noodle) why is it ok for a robot to run around in a crowded pit space with lots of bystanders?
