Potentially. But is it the safest thing in the world to have a verifiable army of teenagers and adults cram themselves into a 10'x10' space with robots that can launch trackballs over 6 foot overpasses, vomit squads of foam basketballs 20 feet and move 150 lbs of stuff at 17 fps? Probably not. Of course, making a potentially dangerous situation more hazardous is not very smart.
I understand that this issue is different (Although I too think unattaching our leads outside the door and reattaching them after crossing the threshold is one of the silliest things in the world), but I doubt anyone will come to serious harm. I'd be much more worried about robots that loose power on the field due to faulty connections. That drags everyone down, both on the team and in the stands.
