Although not robot related this happened at the candian regional. I enjoy hanging my very large swiss army knife from my belt. It hangs down about 15 cm. I was jumping over the boards at the side of the rink, becasue someone was blocking the door. When I landed my knife swung arround, hitting my squarely in the right nut. I spent about 3 min in the fetal possition while people laughed at me.

The story of how i almost got a tracheotomy: Last year's robot had two large pistons pointing up with the rods out. They were used a reservoirs. We decided that it would be fun if I stood on the dolly while Aaron pushed me arround with the robot.

He hit the dolly a little hard and I fell frontwards onto our robot hittign myself on one of the rods. It hit my right on the base of the collar bone. A few more inches up and I would it would have pierced my trachea. It hit me so hard, it bruised me for a month and i still have a scar.
