Re: machine shop horror stories

Not really in the shop, but I was at a regional competition 3 years ago. I bent down to pick up our robot after a game and caught my arm on the end of a machine screw. Naturally, it was not a clean cut. It actually looked pretty cool, it had jagged edges on either side of it. I now have a scar on my right arm a few inches below my elbow. It's mostly faded now, but you can still faintly make out where I got cut.
