Remote kill is just an additional layer of safety. In Storm II the remote kill shuts down the FET drivers putting the robot in a safer state. It doesnt make the robot safe, just safer.

Im not sure anyone has ever interpreted remote kill as popping out the link ! The point is that you can shut down the robot from a distance, a large solenoid such as the ones that Albright sell would be sutiable for a heavy, and a large automotive relay would be sutiable for a feather.

Jim - you should never have a robot full of CO2 sitting in the pits, you should always vent your gas at the end of a fight. Id be worried if you were not venting your tanks at the end of fights !
