Re: Interesting/Cool Scaling Mechanism Designs

Safety rule #1:

G1:
ROBOTS whose operation or design is dangerous or unsafe are not permitted.

Violation: If before the MATCH, the offending ROBOT will not be allowed to participate in the MATCH.
If during the MATCH, the offending ROBOT will be DISABLED.

Examples include, but are not limited to: A. Uncontrolled motion that cannot be stopped by the DRIVE TEAM
__________________________________________________ ____
There, so the # 1 rule for safety is that the robot is not permitted to make actions which the drive team cannot control... right? so if the robot is still releasing some form of energy (compressed air, compressed spring, etc...) after the completion of the match, how are they to stop it? (they can't)


pm or email me if you have a comment about that ^
