While this is an approach, given that the teams have not yet understood some of the inner workings of WPILIB (I don't know it all myself either), I don't think disabling safety code is the right thing to do for these teams.

What makes the RobotDrive potentially dangerous is that under some programming circumstances, the robot can drive uncontrollably from lack of providing new driving instructions. I believe its goal was to help teams avoid recreating the wheel on implementing a tank or arcade drive, but the developers threw in some safety considerations also.
