Re: For those who are skeptical about propellers - Team 2526

Have you ever been to a competition? After each match you will see various parts from the robots on the floor. What if a bolt or nut was to be flipped into your props.Even if they didn't damage your props where does the part go after hitting the props.
Also, on a safety note. In your videos it shows your robot going along the floor PAST all the students with uncage props. When I'm around running R/C aircraft I NEVER put myself in the plane of rotation. I've seen first hand what a prop can do if it breaks and flies free. I've seen them imbed themselves into 2x4 park benches.
PLEASE BE SAFE!!!!!
