This is the reason for the stop button at the player station. I bet they predicted that robots are going to go crazy as the program wasn't good enough for certain variables. I can imagine the drive train become uncontrolable, robot crashing into other robots and/or field barrier. Safety will be a huge concern, especially during practice round when people are in the field. But then they come up with the stop button, and clevely add it into the scoring system, making the whole game a lot more interesting.
Pretty nice...
