Is there ever a year when there isn't a lot of robot/barrier interaction?

2008 - During hybrid and game play
2007 - Getting ringers along the wall
2006 - getting on the ramps and scoring in the side goal
2005 - capping goals in the home row

Many teams don't think about securing their controls to the driver station. How many times did a team have their controls knocked off last year because they didn't secure them?

Every field has had loop tape since at least 2007, if not earlier. I think Bill is just mentioning it so more team utilize this safety feature.
