I don't think having a robot hit men, women, and children in the pits is an acceptable risk. The severity is high and the likelihood is high and that seems unacceptable.

And as cliche as it is, common sense isn't so common. If it were, I wouldn't have had to start this thread based on previous incidents.
i don't understand the serious risk part, its not that serious of a risk just control your robot which all drive teams are trained to do
