May I add, 2 horsepower of FLYWHEEL FURY!

I'm actually kinda worried this year about randomly exploding throwing mechanisms. If designed incorrectly, flywheels have a nasty tendency to use their energy in a destructive manner. We recently found this out for real, after yesterday, watching a 1 lbs flywheel literally float on a concrete floor. Luckily, it floated, upright and spinning, away from us, behind some drawers, where it made indescriminate banging noises as it came to a stop from several thousand RPM. Scary. FIRST has never dealt with this sort of stored energy being so easily released in such a small package.
