Don't do it. It's seriously scary, especially when you're 4ft away from it. I couldn't hear from the ear facing the tank for about 15 minutes, and it hurt for the rest of the weekend. The shrapnel went flying into a pit about 30 ft. away, and killed our driver station computer.

Don't do it.

So it seems that this has happened at least four(?) times in the last two years. If FIRST was serious about safety these would be outlawed.
