Seeing both the picture of Wildstang's robot, and then reading the quote by Jeff, reinforces a thought I had this past weekend about player's station operators safety while seeing the game played on an actual event. (UTC Scrimmage.)

What happens when or if you drop a tetra over the players station wall while trying to make a huge stack on a goal near the players station wall??

Last year for instance, the height you gained was far away from the human player side of the field, and rarely caused a safety concern if someone fell while trying to hang, or climb the steps.

I don't know.. Maybe it will be a non-issue, and I am just being over analytic.
But.. Maybe not.

Thoughts?


*By the way, I love the fact that 111 can stack that high (very impressive), I'm just concerned about safety. This is not a personal attack on 111, or any other very high stacking robots..
