I'll start the count:

1. No bumpers

2. Detaching mechanism

2a. The robot probably has two power sources (and possibly two controllers) since both the robot and the detached mechanism are actively moving at the same time. Theoretically this could be done by a complicated spring/catch system using only stored energy, hence the sub-point.

3. Definitely extends above 60" and probably 90", and it's not touching a tower

4. Open flame plus interacting with elements outside the arena = definite safety violation

5. Umbrella is definitely extending outside the frame perimeter

6. Sprinklers would cause field destruction

7. The last frame clearly shows the robot in possession of two balls

that's all I can think of for now...probably are more thoug
