Re: 2729 Safety

That would depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to:
--placement of nearby supports
--speed of turning?
--where in the robot, i.e. is it near an edge?

If you think there is a pinch point, shield it. If it's near an edge of the robot, shield that, too. Bring more shielding to your first event to deal with issues the inspectors raise, which we may or may not be able to see.
