"Crate Flipper" Mechanism
Our team has a quick question about the rules regarding a mechanism's potential to harm other robots. We had a great idea for a way to flip the crates during autonomous, using a simple spinning rod attached to the front of the robot that swings widely outwards and knocks over crates with ease. But, would this be too potentially harmful to other robots and therefore be considered illegal? We think that if it hits a robot in autonomous it is not our fault, and that during tele-op mode we can operate the mechanism ourselves, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just remember, FIRST isn't about the robot, just have fun, meet new people, and try to learn something new. Killing yourself with inhumane amounts of pressure just isn't fun for anyone.
