Re: Near-death experiences or injuries during build season?
Not quite a Near Death experience, but I've got 2 stories:
Both of them are from 2010: and our mentor was bent sanding a strip of aluminum for our robot. It slipped from his hand, took a round on the belt sander, and shot straight up into the ceiling. I think it's still hanging from there today...
The other one would be that if you're taking video of a robot kicking an object, and said object gets bigger, that object is most likely speeding towards your face. Do yourself a favor and duck.
