Re: Team member Nick Names

they call me Gorrilla, because I broke some stuff, specifically our last piece of 1" AL. square tube...

We were building the scissor lift for our 2008 robot. We had one 28" piece left that needed to be cut after I had cut the 7 other ones, I clamped it under the miter saw, pulled the handle to turn it on, and pushed down too fast because I wasn't really paying attention. The saw then proceeded to bend the tube into a nice U-shape.

It dosent help that im 6'3 and 200 pounds either lol

I dont mind it usually, but its kind of embarrasing when you break something and 12 people tell you to sit down for a banna-break.
