I'd definately go with M. Krass on this one ... I can't see how we can
easily build a robot that can throw a soccor ball in excess of 100mph!! Not with the kit of parts from FIRST anyway. Now, I won't say it can't be done either, but I sure don't see it being done easily.
But
if (and I do doubt it) we play dodge ball, there will certainly be safety rules. For instance, if beaming a ball in excess of 100 mph will damage the playing field, or possibly cause an injury, it won't be allowed. Just because something
could be done doesn't mean it will be, or that it will be allowed. Dodgeball doesn't have to be dangerous. I personally don't see a graciously-professional FIRST team building a robot that is a hazardous to others.
