Thanks in advance,

Will it draw blood if I have my finger stuck in there when it starts turning, or will it stall? Low RPM often means high torque.

There is no specific mention of chain guards anywhere in the rules as far as I know, but it falls under the more general rule about your robot not being 'unsafe'.
