Re: Max Velocity

The only thing holding you back currently is

Robot parts shall not be made from hazardous materials, be unsafe, cause an unsafe condition, or interfere with the operation of other Robots.
(emphasis mine)

If someone (like a ref!) is standing a few feet from your robot when it shoots straight at them, how much are they going to get hurt if the ball hits them? You're going to have to meet *some* definition of safe conditions with the firing of your robot... the only question (for me at least) is exactly what that definition of safe is.
