Re: Can We Use a Bicycle Tire and Rim?

Ahh one thing that hasn't been talked about here. Safety.

Remember how in the kickoff video, they had the softball shooter, that had a big flywheel and they talked about it a little bit. One of the things they talked about was safety. It's fully legal, just make sure however you fit it into the robot it'll pass all the safety standards that first has in place.

Safety First everyone, you don't want to have your robot fail inspection because you forgot to make it safe. Also take safety into consideration while your designing too, make sure you allow room and weight for it.
