Ok...anyone else have someone DROP your team's robot on you? I was trying out for comp. team, I think, last year and as a requirement you had to lift our robot. Well...Joe S. and I are lifting this thing fine until he doesn't give me a cue to lift and proceeds to go on without me. Nonetheless, the robot tips and I get a wire brush cleany thing (I forget what they were but this was on MOEHawk and we used them to stay attached to the floor) in the face/top of my head. OW! It hurt but I'm a girl and it was all guys so I sucked it up and acted as if nothing had happened.

As far as accidents go however...none have really occured to our team however....there was the elevator incident. *smirks*

Some of you might know this story, because someone must have posted it last year, but anyway....we were at Nationals in Huston in a hotel I thought was...well...old. Too old. The elevators scared me but who cared...we were having fun. It was a little over curfew when all of sudden I hear a lot of noise from the hallway. Out I go...walk a few steps and blink. My team is crowded around the elvator doors...close elvator doors. Oook...they've all lost it. Then I hear what I had to die laughing at...my mentors are stuck inside, pounding on the door to the rest of us outside. It was great. They were stuck in there for twenty minutes I think. They even tried prying the doors open which was...well...odd. No injuries occured but...wow....there could have been!

Also, I think one of our students, Chris, ended up smacking his head in the shower really badly when a couple other students squirted him. I forget exactly how that happened though.
