Are you worried about defending robots getting hit inside their frame perimeter by your collector mechanism, that looks like it must be deployed when you're shooting? Seems like you're approaching the edge of [G28].
A lot of people have brought this up, but I doubt the penalty will be a factor for most teams. Getting your extensions damaged by hard hitting robots might be a problem but the penalty won't be called that often on pick up mechanisms. A lot of robots had drop down systems in 2012/2013 and their was a similar rule both years, I don't remember too many penalties being called, I remember a few cases where it should have been called but wasn't.

935, that is amazing that you already have a two ball auton working with over a week left in build season.
