Re: Ball speed testing after matches

Based upon the fact that it's very difficult to measure the speed for most teams (we had theoretical values, tested per the angle/distance method, and even purchased a radar gun.. but even then tested (at our own request) a bit too high), why would the muzzle velocity not be a part of the robot/safety inspection (obviously only for those with a shooter).

With the exception of those who would change the value after it's checked, this would ensure compliance for those that wish to play by the rules. As it is now, many teams who probably think they are in compliance may not be, and hopefully they won't have issues after the fact.

I would suggest this be an added inspection check at Nationals.
