Another risk, when using two human loader stations, is that the
human player returning from one station might be struck by an
arm from a robot that is coming into the other human player
station. We had a near miss at Sacramento, where the
a second robot (ours) was turning at a high speed near the loading
station in order to line up for it. The swinging arm exceeded the
field boundary and missed a returning human player's head by just a foot.

The referees should probably be calling safety penalties for
robots that swing their arms outside of the field bounderies.
In the near miss that I saw, a 20 pound aluminum arm would have
struck a players head as if were a sledge hammer. Scary!
