Re: exploding plastic storage tanks

Here's a suggestion, require teams to install shields (e.g. Lexan) around tanks, and for teams tight on weight don't include the shield weight in the weight of the robot. Sleeves might work, but small pieces could still escape - at high velocity.

This is a very dangerous failure and should be addressed by teams and by FIRST as soon as possible.
