Re: were there robot related injuries on your team?

Last year I smacked our president in the face autonomously(the goal was to drive along the line until it saw something in front of it close, then move the arm around and pray it knocked at 10pt ball off), but someone walked in front of the banner sensor and it clipped his neck pretty good.

THis year I dropped our 50 pound steel hoss of an arm on my head twice (once while uncrating, once while recrating), and had our elbow joint in the arm with our original massive gripper smack me in the head... And people wonder whats wrong with me *twitch*
