Opinion on Legality of Sharp Components

Our team has an internal debate as to how an inspector will view certin mechanisms. More specifically our debate is focused around the the rope climb mechanism that will need to grab the rope.

We are very aware of R06 and R07 but that does not address the hazards imposed my internal robot functions.

For example if there are sharp teeth on a 2 inch rotating drum used to intake the rope is that legal? I don't see anything that says its not but, I also have enough experience to know that an inspector could rule it unsafe.

For example if a drum had a surface like this. Would you feel deem that acceptable and safe? http://pasteboard.co/qlbYwAl1J.png
