Re: Hands off my bot
If it's powered, you better be at least 500 feet away.
Otherwise, just don't pull on wires or do anything obviously destructive. If the robot can't take a few hands checking out shooter wheels or belts then it was about to break anyway. It should be everyone's goal to put guards in proper places so that a powered off robot does not pose a safety hazard to anyone touching it in any reasonable manner (i.e. not shoving a fist into an electronics board and ripping out wires). One can't expect guards to protect everyone when the robot is on, so no one touches it then.
Then again, it's not my robot, it's the team's robot, and I didn't assemble most of it. For all I know my team hates me for pulling on polycord to check if it's tight enough.
