Possible? If a 15-lb, 12" diameter or less flywheel can make it up the pole without falling off, I'll be surprised.

Safe? I'm thinking no, because if you miss, that's a lot of energy going somewhere. Hopefully it's shielded enough that it doesn't go straight towards other robots/people's feet when they come on the field/that sort of thing--which further reduces available weight/diameter.

Legal? Questionable (on safety). Ask Q&A.
