Re: Driver & Human Safety

FIRST is really in a tough spot. Saftey is the #1 priority for them, but they flawed the design of the field and would essentially be hurting teams that built their robots to play the game to stack high.. I haven't seen this rule enforced, I only hope that the officals tell the HP to step off the pad if a tetra breaks the plane and IF the robot corrects itself and becomes safe, would allow that team to continue.

I really think we need some mass e-mails to FIRST asking them to put protection over the driver stations. Even just like 2 poles the same height as the plexy glass at the left and right far ends of the driver station with saftey net attached to the top would solve the problem.. (May not sound very clear because I'm bad at explaining things)
