Re: were there robot related injuries on your team?
yea there was this one happened on like 3rd week of build. So we were testing our ball gatherer, and Katie was trying to tighten a bolt. While she was doing this a fellow team member Aaron, was attaching a drill to make a roller spin. The fellow team member Aaron by accident pulled the trigger and the roller started with Katie's hand inside. Her hand got stuck and was hit pretty hard(about 2000 rpm) with surgical tubing, (which was there for added friction). Katie now has a splint on her finger right now and most likely will have to get surgery after build season is done. At least Katie and Aaron will never forget this year. Note to self when ppl come near u with a drill ask them if it is in neutral.
