When we were building the field, the only power saw we had was a battery powered circular saw. It would take about 2 hrs. to charge and would run down with ~5 mins. of use. While waiting for it to charge, I got the bright idea of using the robot battery to power it. We sent someone to the other room to go get some wire and another person wired it up. What I didn't realize until after the saw was turned on was that the wire used to power the saw was 24 gauge wire. The wire acted like a fuse and started melting and causing lots of smoke.

We were working on autonomous mode and I was following closely to the side of the robot. I had forgotten that I had programmed the wings to lower and when they did they smacked me in the head. The operator at the time quickly switched back to driver control and frantically pressed the button to raise the wing. He managed to raise it and then immediately lower it, therefore smacking me in the head again. He then raised the wing and unplugged the OI. This caused the wings to go back to the default state of wings down which hit me in the head for a third time in less than 30 secs.

We were testing our robot at 447's field and in going up the ramp we tripped the auto-resetting breaker controlling the right wheel. The robot then veered to the right and knocked down the plywood ramp wall as well as the 2 stacks of about 10-12 bins each on the other side of the wall. The robot ended up doing a nose dive from the 2 ft. tall platform and landing face first on the floor.
