Jamie, the servo advice mentions loss of power, not signal. And on loss of power, failsafe or not, the servo will remain in it's last position.

Re turning off transmitter - The transmitter should be kept ON at all times whilst the robot is active and especially whilst someone is in the arena. Failsafes should be a back up secondary option and never the first line of defence for the potential of a runaway bot.

Could someone clarify the reasoning behind the increase in hydraulic pressure allowed? Someone correct me if I'm wrong but the previous value was 4000psi? or thereabouts. Increasing this to 10 000psi seems needlessly dangerous and completely pointless.

My reasoning is as follows,

- Hydraulics are used almost entirely in the heavyweight class. Hate to say it but this class is a lot more cuddly than the days of old or the featherweight class. Punching through armour is seen as somewhat of a no no with damage being something to be avoided. Where is the need for an increase?

- 4000psi is dangerous enough but 10 000psi?! One of those lines get damaged thats a very dangerous steam of fluid you have coming out there. I don't have the engineering experience to say definitively what would happen should someone be on the wrong end of that but I can imagine and have heard stories.

Hydraulics obviously isn't my area of expertise, but I'd like to know some of the logic behind the sizable increase in pressure?
