Re: What's the dumbest thing you've ever done, related to FIRST?
Last year, we were drilling holes in something (don't rememer what) with the drill press when the drillbit stopped drilling. We were pretty pissed since we were almost done.
Our solution? Push harder.
However the stupid little bit just wouldn't drill. We realized we were doing something wrong when the bit started glowing orange.
Our reaction? Push harder.
It wasn'tt until small flames began shooting out of the other side that we decided to get a new bit. We did, of coarse, stop to cool the bit down every now and then with a cup of water. What did we use for a cup? One of the old light covers.
See? there are reasons to keep those around!
