Re: Safety Issue: Robots Moving in Pits

Without putting the robot on the ground, it is not possible to fully test a robot mechanism that is designed for picking objects off the ground. Without putting the robot on the ground, it is extremely difficult to test closed-loop wheel speed or position software.

Putting robot wheels in contact with pit floors has legitimate uses. I believe a rule against it would go too far.
