Right now, we haven't taken miuch effort to prevent this, but I'm confident in our driver station holding up.


As well, a robot crashing your laptop could occur in Tele-Op too. Consider: RobotA is a red alliance robot and is currently in the blue alliance's courtyard. RobotA shoots a high goal and misses, and the boulder bounces in front of blue alliance's castle wall. In order to retreive the boulder, RobotA pushes the boulder into the castle wall, colliding with the wall itself. This crashes a robot on the blue alliance. Should the RobotA be penalized because it was trying to retrieve a boulder? The wording regarding a potential rule about laptops crashing would have to be worded very carefully and consider both accidental and intentional occurances, however noticing the difference between the two may be difficult.
