I understand your concern and I am one of the adult mechanical mentors on the team. Every other mentor and the school are confident with our safety procedures, design and the thought process. We have safety in mind and we would not do anything that would put a student in danger. The students started with a direct drive and were not happy with the performance. They set goals and I do what I can to help them achieve those goals. We are being safe and this is completely necessary for their learning experience. What we are going to bring to competition will be safe, effective and will work the way they want.

FYI - We are decreasing this ratio and will keep you posted.
No. You are clearly unsafe in this case.


Please take this suggestion with the highest regard of importance. You cannot spin that assembly at that speed. There are COUNTLESS warnings on this forum for this type of rotating assembly.
