Can you provide a specific reference or document that shows that flop-down robots were "outlawed last year due to nuemerous safety issues with shooters"? I do not recall that that, or any other, specific reason was ever published. Do you know this for sure?

Making up information and hoping that others will accept it as fact helps neither you nor the person seeking knowledge. If you don't KNOW the answer to a question, it is usually better to remain silent than to provide a made-up, incorrect answer. No information is better than bad information.
