Honestly, this backpack scares me from a safety perspective. What happens to the unlucky person wearing it if a tank should explode? As an LRI, I would insist it be removed from the venue, and I bet the UL Safety advisors would agree.

You beat me to it Jon. Those white tanks fail regularly if even slightly nicked or damaged. I saw one go off last year on the field and it sounded like a grenade going off. The plastic shards from an exploded tank would be a hazard not only to the wearer but those around him.
That looks super dangerous.
Is FIRST making it too easy?... yes they are making it easier than years past. But I would also say that does that matter? If students are still inspired to pursue more advanced designs and eventually a career in the technology sector we still have met our ultimate goal. - MikeDubreuil [more]
