Re: Lifting Gear Out of Robot

I expect it to be made illegal, or the Pilots will have to wear gloves. There is a non-zero probability that a robot will yank the post down while being hit by a defender, giving a pilot rope burn.

It seems like pilots will want gloves regardless - accidents happen.

If the rules change, how they constitute that a robot has backed 'far enough' away to allow for safe retrieval will inevitably be the next topic of discussion - so hopefully a few Q&A posts will have some sort of multi-faceted question.
