moreso than just a kill switch, have someone nearby the perimeter of your No-Stand-Zone.
247, 469, and one other team did a 2-day demo for the opening of the Detroit Science Center, this was two years ago w/ the big balls.
While a kid, (under 13) was driving around and a member of 469 was tossing the ball to the bot so the kid could 'catch' it, it was in grasp then the kid started moving around with the bot.
It became topheavy over a group of 5-8 year olds who assumed the robot was trying to hand them the ball when in fact it was tipping over on top of them.
Luckily, someone on 469 that was standing near the kids caught the robot saving a catastrophe.
So basically, if you are going to be showing off your bot, and allowing inexperienced drivers of any age, consider worst-case scenario's and prevent them
