Re: [Poll] Does your launcher use "armed" indicators?

I voted for "think it is needed for safety", but I'd like to qualify that to "in some instances." Some teams have created fail-safe mechanisms so that their launcher cannot release the stored energy accidentally. They wouldn't necessarily need an "armed and dangerous" signal.
