Re: Launcher Safety Ideas

I'd suggest putting a couple signs on the robot. Something along the lines of "DANGER, SPRING LOADED MECHANISM. DISCHARGE BEFORE INSPECTION OR SERVICING. KEEP CLEAR AT ALL TIMES."

Safeties are great, but you should also warn people that the thing they are looking at is, in fact, a launcher and not some other mechanism.
