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,

Definitely a design consideration. I personally need all the limbs and eyeballs I currently have, and I assume other feel the same way.
