I just wonder what happens in the case where they disable the robot, and it drops the tetra anyways, because that's the way it was designed. Could cause more harm than if left alone to correct itself. I think that was commented on elsewhere.... Guess they take a chance either way on the safety bit... If I remember right, the arm came over the wall because they got pushed by another robot (but not sure, but I don't believe they were disabled). Unfortunate if someone should get disabled in this case when they didn't initiate going over the wall. With such a vertical game, guess those walls shoulda been much higher. Let's hope everyone stays awake and there aren't any serious injuries this season... Dig up some hardhats everyone....
