I wouldn't say that accurately describes how people feel in this thread and outside of this thread but I can't speak for everyone.
Believe me safety has its place in FRC. My overall underlying question is does safety always trump risk? Does every safety risk require more action compared to just acknowledging it exists, making everyone around you aware, asking yourself if you believe your team has done everything it can to do so safely, and exercising caution while carrying it out? Even just enabling your robot (on blocks drive enabled) poses as safety risk so that would become the next in line safety issue so to speak so how much longer before that gets taken away?
I'm fine with not being allowed to tether in the pits on the floor but like I said the current practice field standards are unacceptable and teams will always have a moment when the robot needs to be tested on the floor and potentially with the drive wheels operational. Until the practice field changes teams will still do what they need to so they can always put a robot on the field that will perform as it needs to which does requires troubleshooting in the pits.
