We didnt have too many injuries, a couple really stupid could have been fatal mistakes though. Me and another guy were using a lathe and it used an allen wrench to tighten the chuck. Being wasted as we were from all nighters for the last couple of days, we left the wrench in the chuck without noticing it. As we start up the lathe, it is shot into a window behind us, and luckily didnt impale us in the head, or break the window. On another all nighter towards the end of the build period, I was cutting something on a bandsaw using a pair of visegrips to hold it. stupid me picks it up and immediately burns 3 fingers on my hands, and I can tell you id rather be cut than burned any day. it burned for DAYS. One of our advisors was sitting under one of the arms on the robot when it was turned on, and got whacked in the head, and got cut up. Luckiliy no one killed themselves during build!
