			== Sharp Edge Covers ==

			Robots that have sharp or pointy features or surfaces that could easily cause injury should include protective covers for these surfaces. Common approaches to feature covers include pool noodles and 3D printed covers held on by elastic bands.

			NHRL encourages competitors to use their best judgement on whether a surface or feature needs a cover, but our inspectors may flag a robot as needing additional covers during the safety inspection process.
