If the inspector thinks it poses a safety issue, they will ask you to come up with a method to protect all around your robot. For those of you who have never pinched a finger in your bike chain, it is nearly the same as a soldering iron burn without the smell. The difference can be that a soldering iron won't break your finger while a sprocket may.

I will agree with Al on this one.
