An easy way to make springbots safe: Make the rule "springbots must be rigidly attached to the pole". There, no safety issue.
A design I was working on would literally be physically incapable of deploying until around a bar.

On a side note: I don't think your vex response makes any sense. Vex doesn't have any other competitions as far as I know. What's the problem with FIRST limiting you on the parts you use for the minibot? They do it every year in FRC in one way or another.

The problem is they're quite transparently pushing their robotics competition on every team in FRC, at the expense of the teams that do VRC now.
