Re: Safety inspection regarding open wheel shooters?

We have been very worried about this recently, especially since our shooter has many reasons for possibly needing one. Our shooter wheel is one of the KOP wheels from last year with some tread bolted to the outside. It's a 90 degree angle shooter with no top and a rather large belt above it that powers the wheel from the CIM. Our wheel has spokes and sticks out about 1.5-2 inches out from the front of our shooter plate. Unfortunately, the shooter is in the bag with the robot and there are virtually no mounting points for a guard. Even if we could mount a guard, much of the shooter wheel would still have to be exposed. Would you not pass us through inspection because of this? (I ask this as we are currently working hard on a shooter guard, but I need to know if we should start going into to overtime).
