I'll second that one. The involvement level is great this year, but it really is too risky. I personally almost had my eyes forked out by our arm when our robot was hit straight-on, towards me, at MWR (thank heavens for tennis reflexes and safety glasses from the Technokats!). The idea of an isolated loading station, like Billfred said, would be much appreciated!
