My most notable injury was when our 2005 bot still worked and we let a non-member drive it at a recruitment demo. He started spinning with a heavy PVC tetra, copying our competition driver, and didn't raise the arm high enough. The tetra flew off, missed my best friend, and hit me square on the mouth, leaving a bruise for a week. We have never let a non-member drive with tetras since. Poof balls and ringers, yes. Tetras, no.

Lets not forget this humorous doozie.
