Harrison has a little shameless behaviour in the past
Well every time the battery needs replacing in our bot someone (usually ends up being me) has to reach in and around a few things to get at it. Then when the velcro finally lets go my hand goes flying into the corner of some extruded aluminum...Did that oh 20 times or so before we moved the battery...

Verticle mill, milling some motor mounts, snapping bits occasionally, they go flying accross the shop usually...Once it didn't make it accross the shop because it found the side of my head first...luckily it hit me sideways, so i was ok (i'm here, aren't i? lol)

Again on the mill, except this time drilling out rather large holes, that aluminum gets dang hot...I forgot about that once as I went to pick the freshly drilled piece up...my hand then went flying and i banged the side of the mill pretty hard - double wammy.

Again w/ the mill (can u tell I am the only person on my team that is a good Miller...lol) those dang metal splinters...Got more of them than I can count...

None of those are terribly major - but annoying none the less.
