@rhtyler no PPE was worn, and you are right, it probably should have been, that said, we treated it like a firing range, no one and no thing was allowed downrange.
I sure hope these guys were wearing eye protection at least, and preferably full-face shields. Those little VEX motors don't make much energy per unit of time, but saving up their energy in pairs of spinning 5-ounce wheels and then shooting little bits of metal with them could introduce experimenters to the law of unintended consequences. It's pretty cool, I just hope they didn't shoot anyone's eye out.

Are these normal or high stress gears? Also, I'd like to see something that can switch gears lol
