Putting a robot on the floor is a necessity when tuning/tweaking/fixing the mechanism that interacts with the game piece. It does not matter the year, if the mechanism must pick up a game piece off of the floor then the robot must be on the floor for a proper test.

I don't think the issue is with testing a mechanism, but with the risk of the robot taking off and driving out of the pit area.
