Re: Penalty for raising tetra higher than player station?

Well, I got hit in the head at one of our quarterfinal matches at Boilermaker. The tetra that hit me and one of our drivers came flying over the wall. The robot that launched it was not over the wall but was holding it very high near the wall and was hit hard by another robot causing it to fly over the wall. This new rule will never prevent that from happening.

I agree that a safety "roof" should be installed over the player station, or at least everyone in the driver station should be forced to wear hard hats.
Think of it this way: Disabling a robot for causing a safety hazard does not PREVENT the hazard. By the time the robot is disabled the hazard is done. We need to prevent the hazard, rather than just discourage it with disablement.
