Perhaps just a wall like there is between the drivers and the field. I know, props could easily go over this, but at least it would cut out the worst case scenario.

Otherwise, a cool design. Good luck with the competition. And I hope nobody gets hurt.
Should be fine. If you'll be at the Portland regional, I'll have a Kevlar helmet you can borrow, as well as glasses capable of withstanding a shotgun's deerslug at 5m. (Yay ROTC!)

I honestly don't want to see FIRST turn into battlebots, where the field is contained by walls. It blocks viability, and makes the competitions ugly and slow due to access.
