Re: How Fast Can you Safely Climb?

This may sound really dumb, but FIRST could put it in the field programming to stop robot communication if the pressure sensor is held for 1 second in the final 5 seconds. I realize this takes the drama out of holding for one second to end the match, but it could stop a lot of problems with motor burnouts. Most mechanisms wont break if stalled for ~one second. Just an idea, but will likely never be implemented.
