Re: Al's Annual Inspection Thread 2013

Wow! Absolutely nothing in there about safety shields for high speed rotating equipment.

Given the number of shooters that will be running wheels at several times their design speed, I really expected something about "high speed rotating mechanisms are shielded to reduce the likelihood of injury during testing or in the case of failure of a rotating component".

I mean R08 covers the general concept:

Quote:
ROBOT parts shall not be made from hazardous materials, be unsafe, cause an unsafe condition, or interfere with the operation of other ROBOTS.
But I was hoping for something more specific, so that all teams would know, in advance, that exposed shooter wheels likely "cause an unsafe condition".
