Re: Remote Kill Switch
As a person that routinely volunteers as CSA/FTAA please do not make it possible for your robot to drive in the pit.
If you want to put it up on blocks or something that's one thing.
Even better if the venue can help you do that safely with materials.
If you put it on the floor and try to drive I am sorry but I will object to that.
Please use the practice fields to fully test your robot's work envelope.
I am not against additional safety controls like the USB red button which is more recognizable to teams, or even requiring teams to put a label on the space bar in the rules (easy to do and cheap).
However an emergency stop is not replacement for not creating an dire situation in the first place.

...the great teams in FRC will probably continue to be great teams. That is because they have great people who embrace the challenge rather than whine about it. - dtengineering [more]
