Re: FIRST Injury Stories

Our robot uses Spectra string (300lb min. strength) to control part of our gripper. I was untangling it and the motor started spinning. My thumb got caught.

Luckly people reversed the direction of the motor before my thumb popped off. I still had a lovely scab encircling my thumb for the next week though.
