You know, I was also tempted to mention Frostbite's testing videos as another reason why people dislike it so much. When you hear about other roboteers emphasising the need to test spinning weapons with proper safety precautions in place (tethering the robot to a static platform, keeping a safe distance away from the robot, using testing arenas where possible, etc.), it seems especially ridiculous that the Frostbite team would choose to test it in a CLASSROOM and an INDOOR GYM, and have it destroy objects while the person recording the videos has VERY LITTLE protection against flying shrapnel. It especially doesn't help when the person in question is STANDING CLOSE TO THE ROBOT while it's weapon and drive system are FULLY OPERATIONAL. The irony of a school-based team going against general robot combat safety practices is not lost on me.
