IMHO safety features on the robot during competition only slow us down....or do they? personally, and not to sound arrogant or "holier-than-thou-art", but in my experience stuff like needing to press 2 buttons to fire, power-down procedures, etc. are over redundant and not needed. when we demonstrate the robot anywhere, yes, we do have as many safety systems as possible, but not usually during the competiton......just my 2 cents....

PS
i guess i'm refering more to having a killswitch and stuff more like that, that is, software safety features. Hardware safety features are a must though
