Re: Full Court shot

Before I go all "safety mode", let me just point out that is a very cool shot and I'm pretty impressed. Okay... now its time for the tech inspector in me to express a concern...

I know this is just a prototype, and that you're probably already planning a safety shield for this shooter, but I think teams should be aware that not only are these wheels not designed to spin at high RPM, but that they store a significant amount of finger-ripping energy when they do.

It is much easier to build safety shields in to your design than to add them as part of tech inspection!

Thanks,

Jason
