Re: Dangers of High Speed Pneumatic Gun

A cylinder firing with a speed of 1 in/s can be dangerous if used improperly. There should not be a minimum unsafe speed, or a maximum safe speed.

Also, Mike, while the UL safety inspectors can't pull a robot out for lack of safety, anyone, including said safety inspectors, can ask the robot inspectors to reinspect a robot if they feel it is unsafe or violates a rule. Let's say that team X passes inspection with a kicker that is deemed safe during inspection--say that it's not fired then. On the practice field later, a member of team Y comes within inches of being hit when it accidentally goes off. Team Y can request a safety check be done to verify that team X is still safe.
