I was looking through the FRAs 2004 safety guidelines and it looked like theyd covered most types, except a few. I was wondering, what safety rating, (the scale of 1-6 used by the FRA) do you think these ones deserve?
Toecutter- Their weapon is basically a small blade on a spring that sweeps across. The biggest threat is probably down in the pits, where it can accidentally be released.
Robochicken and 8345T- Both robots have a hybrid weapon, a flipper, which is connected to an arm at the back that comes down whenever the flipper is fired. Should this arm count as a stationary spike or an axe?
Mace 2 and Tornado- These teams both use a chain flail (spinning toothpick) Granted that Tornados can hack away at polycarb armour, it doesnt seem to be quite as dangerous as a spinning flywheel or disc, and should therefore be listed seperately. What does everyone else think?
