Re: A Warning to Human Players for safety's sake.

Another, much scarier, scenario than falling tetras is falling robots. The trend this year is for robots that are very tall, and I have seen some that have fallen over. One that stands out particuarily vividly in my mind is when a scissor-jack robot, fully extended to at least 12 feet, toppled over in the center of the field. If it had fallen the other way, it could have fallen out of bounds and hit one of the loaders with considerable force on the head or shulders before hitting the knee-high fence. This is extremely dangerous. In the future (although I hope that the future games are designed better) there should be a complete wall around the field, or even the bubble dome idea.
