Re: Scariest Robot

I was pretty scared of our (4965) 2014 robot. It had a spring + pnematic powered catapult and that thing was powerful. You did not want to be anywhere near it when it fired. When we were at the Palmetto Regional, someone had unfastened the arm that held the ball from the catapult so it could be worked on. Somehow the catapult got accidentally triggered and sent the arm into one of my mentor's faces. Good thing he was wearing safety glasses.
