Re: High speed treaded wheel safety warning

Granted, foam is safer than rivets, but still...
Yep. It is all relative. NASA has one less shuttle due to a bit of foam that didn't stay put.

This year's prototyping scares me. Not as much as the propellors in '09 that teams were demonstrating running directly off a CIM shaft or wobbly bit of chain -- with no speed controllers in the loop, just powered 100% off the battery.

But please please think about the shooter wheel as a rotating hazard. Also be careful of long hair, loose clothing, hoodie strings, etc.
