Re: [Poll] Does your launcher use "armed" indicators?
We're launching, and while I will say that our launcher is dangerous to stand near, I don't think it needs an armed light. It's quite obvious when it's fully armed, and we did so much engineering on the launching winch that we're pretty confident it's fail-proof. The only real flaw right now (which we are fixing) is that the rip-stop nylon straps used to wind it down tend to get ripped by the bolts that hold it in place.
So, I think that if you're safe around launchers, such as using proper safety measures when testing and keeping all participants away from any moving parts, you should be fine and a light won't be necessary.
