Re: It could happen to you (but we hope not)

One thing that was brought up to me when I showed a friend the pictures is that the amount of damage sustained on the robot was incredible. The fact that we were safely able to remove it from the field in one piece was fantastic. Our shooter design is simple and most of the moving parts I would call "dangerous" are very well contained. Compressed air is kept underneath lexan shielding, high speed belts kept inside the arms frame. I heard and saw a lot of robots with mechanisms that looked like they were ready to explode and I would ask all teams make sure that even in a state of catastrophic failure your robot does not put anyone at risk. Regardless of how we view the staff, volunteers, and even other teams at FIRST nobody should ever get hurt.
