Re: Exposed gears/chain

Robot shields can present a false sense of security. You should NOT be working on a power up and enabled robot if you are concerned about safety.

I've had to deal with OSHA regulations this year, and let me tell you, the people who write these things have never used this sort of equipment in their lives. In some cases, OSHA regulations make equipment more dangerous - such as 'safety' shields that get parts stuck against grinding wheels, saw blades...
