Re: Illegal?
The output of most ccf's under most circumstances and most people would cause an unpleasant shock. However, under the right circumstances and the right person, that level of current and voltage could kill. Yes, it is dangerous. If First bans them then there is no risk. If they are allowed then what is the probability or risk of a serious incident. What would be the cost and impact of an incident. CCF's are not necessary to the primary purpose of the robot. Does allowing them present acceptable risk? With the American legal system it's easy to just say no.
UV light does affect the camera. We noticed in 2006 with our tests that the camera had problems with HID lighting but was fine with fluorescents. A UV blocking sun glass lens helped allot. If UV LED's are allowed then a bank of UV LED's could be a great defensive tactic but then there is the GP aspect of First.
