I agree completely with this statement. Many robots (as far as I've noticed on CD) can extend to 12' high or even higher. Most will attempt to carry a tetra at that height as well. With many of the goals positioned on the sides of the field, and robot contact expected because defense and goal protection is permitted, many robots can become falling tree trunks instantly. I fear the safety of the human players and the referees and camera people. 6 tall robots in a crowded field will not be a pretty sight when aggressive matches occur.

As for specific robots, there is nothing to fear. It's more interesting to learn about how their robot operates and the systems it uses. FIRST is a learning experience.
