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:

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".
