Robot guarding

[FRC1756]

We are using a scissors lift mechanism on our bot, will we need to provide guarding at all the pinch points? Instead, can we mark the mechanism with yellow and black stripes to provide a warning?

[GDC]

Rule <R05> requires that reasonable efforts be made to mitigate and/or protect pinch points. Shielding particularaly dangerous pinch points is critical. For less hazardous pinch points, shielding is the preferred option. If this is physically not possible for less hazardous pinch points, then brightly colored warning stripes or other visual warning indicators would be an acceptable alternative.
