Just for fun, we had a team member take a direct shot to the stomach from about 6 inches away. The resulting ripple effect was fun to watch in slow motion

After that I tried to see if I could catch a shot to the side of me from 10 feet. Although I got it on the second try (beginner's luck?) I definitely felt some fear being on the receiving end of our bot.
