The competition E-stop button wasn't that much smaller than this and was clearly visible and labeled. The toggle switch for enable-disable was completely "quick and reliable" this year off field. If it was too small or something you could always just attach a handle to it or something (there's a 6 inch piece of polycord attached to my team's 09 switch). If anything this stop button is slightly more prone to failure, but I imagine the robot would be auto disabled if it could not detect the E-stop.
