I know this is just a prototype, and that you're probably already planning a safety shield for this shooter, but I think teams should be aware that not only are these wheels not designed to spin at high RPM, but that they store a significant amount of finger-ripping energy when they do.
It is much easier to build safety shields in to your design than to add them as part of tech inspection!

Definitely a design consideration. I personally need all the limbs and eyeballs I currently have, and I assume other feel the same way.
Do you think Pizton's Lard would want to be a FIRST supplier and give every team some lard in the KoP? We could grease our gearboxes with it and every finals match could smell like bacon. - Ty Tremblay [more]
