For those teams that are launching from the floor with those nice big arching trajectories, The amount of potential energy you are storing is not safe. The whole mechanism Is un-safe. Nothing you can do will make it "safe". All you can do is implement strategies that minimize the risk of injury if the mechanism fails. The question is can you lower the risk of injury to the point that you and the robot inspectors have a subjective opinion that the risk is acceptable.
