The robot doesn't necessarily need to be on for you to be injured...last year at nats, i was backdriving chain on our basket lift with our human player after a match, and he pulled really hard and i couldn't move my hand fast enough. End result? my fingers squished between chain and a 6" diameter sprocket. It didn't feel good.
But this year so far the only injuries (for the whole team) have been minor cuts and splinters
Similar thing happened to my friend. he had his fingers in the chain, doing something, and a moron on our team decided to play with the controls. Needless to say, his finger could of been destroyed by our drivetrain, luckily it barely got caught before we stopped the fool.
