Obviously would still you want someone/something (fence) around to make sure people stay away from the robot when it is in operation.

well just one thing that could go wrong. the victors arent calibrated and once the RC loses signal the motors go crazy= robot goes crazy= you hoping the battery runs low SOON. actually im not sure if thats the victors or what, but it has happened before...
