Under OSHA rules, no exposure above 115 dBA is allowed, however short.

So, this answers the question: How Loud is Too Loud?
If you have concerns, borrow or buy a sound level meter.

Yes, there will be a sound meter available at the Cal Games...

Thanks that's really helpful. I would say our robot measures somewhere around the 90 level

Although we haven't found a solution to the problem (a five day solution that is ) we have managed to adjust our shooter so that we only have to reach "jackhammer speed" for a very short time.

As for metal fatigue it has surprisingly held together quite nicely and there are no visible signs of damage.
