Re: just a reminder to remove everything expensive and fragile around ball shooters

the top speed of that lathe is 1400 rpm and the small cim we were originally going to use is 3000+ rpm

i really don't see how this could be any less dangerous than any other attempt for a prototype, we were shooting towards the classroom half of the room, where the greatest danger are rulers and vices, which could of course hurt you, everything has potential to hurt you. don't be like those people who wear plastic gloves everywhere they go, sure it keeps then safe from germs, but it really isn't necessary.

and as cody c said, we're high school kids, dumb things can be expected from us.
