Julian: Call me a wimp, but the idea of relaxing safety restrictions for full body spinners (especially on the grounds that theyre too dangerous to go near anyway) doesnt appeal.

If a robot goes nuts (in the ignoring-remote-kill sense), it probably needs stopping before the batteries go, if only for the sake of the arena. If the accepted procedure is to pin it against the arena wall (with a house robot, in the Robot Wars case) so the link can be pulled, Id be a lot happier with the concept of pulling it out if the thing cant suddenly wrench my arm off should it slip free.

Mind you, presumably most of the time its a problem for the owner, and since I dont intend to build an FBS its not my problem!
