I have luckily been realitivly injury free except for a few burns a scratches but probably one of my most embarassing injuries happened at Nats last year. On are mini bot we had originally used the ribbed tubing for our wire and had no trouble with it a regionals but during nats it was getting caught during practice so we decided to play it safe nd swith tubbing. Any the tubing was way to small for all of the wires so we figured we just need a sturdy hole on the wire so we tied one had to a support rigging. And were trying to thread the wire through. However we had to much tension and in the middle of pulling it through the wire snapped clean through in the middle sending everyone sprawling. I ended up backstepping right into my team at banging or head to gether then falling on a hammer (can some one please tell me why that hammer was there?)

PS In case u are curious we eventually did get it threaded and had no more trouble with the mini!
