Today, I was preparing to cut a piece of plastic for a spacer (tough plastic, can't remember the name)and I was going to use a hacksaw to do it. One of our mentors cam up to me and asked why I was using a hacksaw and I said that it was the easiest and safest way to cut the plastic. He then told me to go and use a compound miter saw, for which we only have a wood blade. I informed him of this and he still said I should use the miter saw. I went and tried. The plastic snapped and whizzed across the room, narrowly missing one of my teammates. Thankfully, nobody was hurt and we were all wearing goggles. Just goes to show you: sometimes, mentors don't always know best.
