Go to Post Pro safety tip: put a string through coil springs that is tied off securely on the robot frame. This will help prevent the spring from jumping out and killing an inspector if it snaps. - Ninja_Bait [more]

Re: Team Update #18

Easy way to know if your minibot will be ok? Have a FIRST certified tower during minibot inspection with a force gauge on it. Then you can have a document from an inspector stating that your minibot meets the minimum required force needed to trigger the target. So if it doesnt happen on the field you have some sort of justification for the refs.

This would eliminate everyone on here saying "show me the calculations to prove it!" or "you didnt account for this drag force or weight of the plate!" etc...
