Re: Balancing a Pneumatic wheel

After some thoughtful offline conversations.....

Al is more likely to inspect your robot than I am. Take heed of his words.

Regards of who inspects your robot. It is your job to make sure it is safe. This means:
  1. making sure anything attached to the rotating bits is well attached and is not going to come off.
  2. making sure your shooter is not going to come apart from rotational forces or having your frisbee jammed into it.
  3. Making sure the shooter is well attached and the shafting and bearings are adequate for the job.

Apologies in advance if this sounds the least bit preachy. I am looking forward to seeing amazing things this year.
