Re: Chain Covers

What inspectors look for also includes areas that may pinch or injure field volunteers should they touch your robot while it is on the field. i.e. A ref is trying to determine the position of your robot and inadvertantly puts his hand near a mechanism. Another person moves your robot or manipulator. Will the action cause someone to be injured? If the answer is yes (or if the inspector thinks it might) a cover is then appropriate.
