An unsuspecting student programmer in front of you in the Queue or a volunteer field resetter on their first day (or a robot inspector) is for all intents and purposes a "little kid" and safety should be measured in light of that fact. I am stressing that the programmer who backs into your robot, the field resetter who bumps your robot cart while moving around in the dark off field or the inspector who is reaching in to check wiring or breakers doesn't get hurt.
