Re: Launcher Safety Ideas
I'd like to add that any team that is considering a launching mechanism should make sure that they have proper practice as to working the launcher. Like it was said above, the last thing that you want is for your launcher to go off when an inspector, team member, or bystander is too close.
That being said, I would like to remind everyone to try your best to control not only when you launch the ball, but where. Obviously, no one should (and I hope no one would) ever try to aim at another robot. First off it is a penalty, and second it just unsportsmanlike. While accidents happen, please try your best to minimize them by launching so that another robot will not be damaged.
