at the quincy scrimage today i made an insanely stupid mistake...major lapse of judgement...i went to pick up the robot, and when i let go of it in pain and looked at my finger it was covered in blood...i had somehow gotten my finger caught in a gear or a wheel or something...all i know is that now theres a massive hole in my fingernail and a couple of smaller ones on the side of my finger and that it hurts
note to self: in future, DONT pick up robot by sharp, moving parts.......
of course, now i can honestly say that ive put my sweat and blood into the robot, but then again, thats probably not something i should be proud of......
mike, whose finger is now a part of the drive train

: he has inspired me...

: 1. last year, i stuck my finger in the speed controllers by accident. although that did not hurt, i jerked my hand back so fast that i hit my elbow on the frame and scratched my wrist on a screw .....as well as bumping my head. the chain reaction was rather interesting. i was confused as to what hurt most.

: 2. 10AWG wires suck. twisting those suckers with my calous free fingers have poked holes into my fingers.

: 3. do not sit on scrap wood. a nail might be sticking out. (/me cringes at the memory)

: 4. when hammering a pin out, look at the pin itself and not the kid making noise in fron of you. it's dangerous to your thumb's health.
