Why i wasnt at Robotics Today?
 

So many people on my team just decide not to show up to any meetings

Today on the way to school my friend and I spun out and rolled the car over a snow bank taking out a mailbox and hitting a tree
Luckily we were able to crawl out through a broken window
Now i have an example of something that is reason to miss a meeting


sorry for no upside down photos... didn't think of camera phone till after it was flipped back over

will get some more pics soon

holy mothers.
r u ok?

and dat IS a hardcore reason to miss a meeting.

Re: Why i wasnt at Robotics Today?
 

Ouch... I hope you are ok. That really really sucks to see that.
I missed 2 meetings so far because I just got all my wisdom teeth out and I thought that was a good reason not to come, but you got me beat there.
I hope you what ever happened to you and your friend heals quickly.

Lucky nobody was in the back seat!
And I'd say that's much better of a reason to miss a meeting than anything I've heard from my teammates...

Re: Why i wasnt at Robotics Today?

both just very sore

Re: Why i wasnt at Robotics Today?
 

tramatized? it looks like you completely totaled the car, lucky it didn't blow up.

Glad to know you aren't hurt, man.

Car wrecks hurt. (The video on that page talks about one I had back in 1998. Any threadjacking is unintentional.)

Get better, then get back in the game. (Hopefully, that's soon!)

Actually, there's only a very small risk of explosion. Fewer than half of one percent of car crashes involve explosions. But it is good to know he's okay. He's pretty lucky. Can you tell I'm currently in the safety unit of PE? :p

wow, thats some twisted metal. hope ur all okay. and that definitly is one good reason to miss a meeting.

Re: Why i wasnt at Robotics Today?
 

It is good that all you guys are ok , feel bad for the jeep. :( :(

Re: Why i wasnt at Robotics Today?
 

Heh, I got in a car accident too, though I dind't talk pictures. ^^ I was more concerned about health.

Excuses = bad
Good reasons = good

Pfft. It's a good reasion now to make it a true 4x4 vehicle. Just trim the top off, straighten out the body, get some lockers in the front and rear w/ some tires and you can claim you're a true Jeeper!! :D

Sorry to hear that, and luckly you got out alive. Make sure to get another jeep.

Just wanting to know though - My ZJ Has been the best vehicle in the snow that I have ever driven - what happened? I have the 4.0 I-6 w/ AWD. (1993)

Re: Why i wasnt at Robotics Today?
 

I once got in a crash on a motor scooter, don't know if thats relevant :D . Anyways sorry about what happened and god be with you. :( (nice pictures)

Re: Why i wasnt at Robotics Today?
 

Glad to hear you're OK. Usually with something like that you don't really start to feel it until the following day. You're lucky the tree took out the cargo area and not the front passenger compartment. Even though I'm not a Jeep person it's sad to see any vehicle in that condition.

On our team we carry the robot in our vehicles at times, just imagine what would happen if we had our robot with us and something like that happened. :eek:

Always a Jeeper to find something positive...

But Matt's right. If the frames not bent, get a saw start trimming, put on an exo-cage, lift, tires, lockers, etc. That would be a sweet trail ride. Or just get a real Jeep like my TJ (Wrangler for those of you who don't speek Jeepism) :D
