Re: Safety of the players in the players station. How high is too high?

i have to agree with Rick TYler here, we have 15' height on our arm. While Wildstangs picture is impressive, its not practice example at all. I highly doubt in 2 min there will be a need to have more than ~5 tetras on the stations closest to the player. Especially not 18 on one. Here is an example:

Lets say we have 6 great robots that can cap a goal every 10 seconds.
Each round is 2 min - 15 sec auto mode = 105 seconds. (2*60)-15=105
Lets make it nice and easy to work with and drop those 5 seconds for some random contact or something
So that means we have 100 seconds, or 10 tetras per bot per round.
60 Tetras total in play on goals at the end of the game.
Divide that by the number of goals (9) gives us 6.67, so that means in this example each goal would have ~7 (give or take a tetra depending on vision tetra or other good auto mode strats)

Given the rules in section 3 ("The Arena") There are only 80 tetras available to be in play. Evenly divided among all goals that would only be ~9 tetras per goal.

I honestly doubt most games will have more than 10 tetras on any single goal. I’m much more worried about our arm. While we are very stable even under full extension, who knows what might happen in play.
