Re: Al's Annual Inspection Thread 2013

Is there any rule that can actually make our robot illegal if our shooter is not shielded? We are going to Lake Superior next week and the attached image is what it looks like (Our robot is slightly upgraded since then but the shooter is pretty much the same)

Adding a shield to our robot would be difficult since it is extremely close to the weight limit and we cannot mount it very securely. We have tested our shooter rigorously in the 2 weeks leading to the stop build day and never had an issue with it or the bolts loosening once setup properly.

If inspectors would require us to not use our shooter or shield it, it would be devastating.
