Re: 842 Final Kicker Desgin
In my mind an important safety practice is using parts as they were designed. I also believe safety should be a priority for FIRST teams.
As such I don't think it is unreasonable to encourage teams to purchase load rated release mechanisms such as McMaster-Carr #3899T54. My other major concern is that fence latches aren't subject to quality control w.r.t. their load bearing ability (because that is not the intended purpose). Although the latches have worked in the past, they may fail later on. |
