Last year at LA regionals i was working on the motors mounted below our robot. We had a thingamajig in the front that was supposed to align the goals so we could grab them, and that was tensioned by those constant force springs and it was held in place by a nail and a piece of wire. Well, as i was working on the motors, my teacher decided to pull the trigger makin that pointy stick go straight for my head. Thankfully all i had to show for it was a rip on my shoulder....Beware of things that are sharp, pointy, and tensioned by constant force springs....
