the 'no open system' refers to the covering of fast/dangetously moving parts. There have been some pics up of teams launching through two fast-moving belts and for safety reasons, the final model will need to have those belts covered from the outside. The same will go for spinning gears and wheels that could possibly come in contact with another bot.
Thanks.
