I know I shouldn't doubt you Al, but I see nothing about the sound barrier. Could you point us to this rule?

Re: 200 mph ball kicker
I'll say no rules broken. The wheels move, not the frame; and the kicker stays under the frame before kicking, pops out of the perimeter for no more than 2 seconds, and retracts. All of that seems nearly text book.

If it's that fast, <S01> may well come into effect...

<S01>-<S04> are the first four rules in Section 7, right after the definitions.

<S0X> and <GXX> rules are in Section 7, <RXX> rules are in Section 8, and <TXX> rules are in Section 9. Other sections with rules do not number them.

<S01> is the most general of the safety rules. Pretty much, if it's unsafe, it can be penalized.
