<S02> Muzzle Velocity - NO ROBOT may throw a ball with an exit velocity of greater than 12m/s (26.8mph) As a reference, a ball traveling at this velocity when leaving the ROBOT at an angle of 30 degrees from horizontal with no spin will travel approximately 35 feet. A robot that violates this rule will be considered unsafe per <S01>
only question i have is how are they going to calculate the speed of the balls being shot? 6 officials with speed detectors?
