Question Bungee cords illegal on Robot?

I know bungee cords have been explored as far as a kicker goes, but wouldn't that be a safety hazard? It certainly makes a kicking mechanism work with more punch, but if it came loose, that would be a bad entanglement on the field.

Re: Bungee cords illegal on Robot?

Bungee cords are 100% legal, if your implementation of them creates a huge safety hazard then I would just look at changing your implementation.
