I agree in principle with Jonno on this. I think it has to be the responsibility of the roboteer to ensure that the robot he makes and uses, is as safe as it can be, this means thinking how to arm the robot, to secure flipper/axe arms, how to transport too and from the arena and how to safely charge and discharge Gas storage and batteries. It sounds complicated but in truth most of this we do as best practice with out thinking.

One area that I think EO's could consider is there is a danger of 100kg robots being put on benches between fights this causes potential accidents to people having to lift them nearly 1 meter up and then over to a bench after every fight. I have been at a meeting when the bench holding a heavyweight robot collapsed! I'm not saying ban it what I am suggesting is give us a bit of room so we can keep the HW robots on the trolleys between benches off the walk ways.
I would appreciate it if there were room for the heavy weight robots at the end of each bench (in the heavy weight section of the pits), gaps between the benches would be good. A lot of us now use trolleys to transport the robots too and from the pits. Or like the Saint are not practical to work on when on the bench, EO's know before hand the robots that are booked to come and the teams that now use trolleys, and it would not take too many shows to sort out how best do this.

What do people think?
