Flipper Mechanism

Hi,

We have a near working prototype that looks like a pinball flipper that spins 360 degrees when activate (see attached picture). Since the mechanism goes outside the frame perimeter and may spin fast, I wonder what are your opinions regarding the rules section 3.2.6 ROBOT-ROBOT Interaction.

We intend to keep the flipper within 2" from the ground (to avoid hitting other robot's bumpers) and command the rotation with a button (the flipper wouldn't spin 100% of the time).

Thanks
