This didn't happen at the nationals but it is a story worth telling. One of the team members and myself are always getting hurt(accident prone) You may have seen me at the nationals patch on the left eye and bandage on the right hand(scratched cornea, 3rd degree burn don't ask) anyway since we get hurt alot they laugh at us when we hit our selves with a hammer ,etc.

So here's the story, It goes from the haha he hurt himself to OH MY GOD HE"S GONNA DIE TO, holy c*** that was hilarious can you do it again, it was early in the 6 weeks of building, probly first or second week. We're making the goal. He's drilling a hole, blindly, to attach a flange between the 2 pieces of plywood. So I'm walkin down the hall toward the room he is in. He comes walkin past me quickly, So i give him the nod and say "Hey whats going on Tom", No responds. So i turn around and he's at the water fountain next to the bathroom, then a mentor goes by. again i say "Hey whats goin on" this is when i knew something went wrong, very wrong. i walked up to tom to see A LOT of blood pouring out of his finger. This is the not funny part. so for 20 minutes he's bleeding. Then i go back to the room and find out

1) He was drilling the hole
2) He said ouch really loud
3) The team laugh(routine-not a malition thing, its a way of saying you'll be ok)
4)they saw blood(He drilled a 1/4 inch hole in his finger)
5) he got up and left quickly
6) they siad oh s*** he's hurt
7) he cleaned it out that stuff

To this day he still doesn't use his right index finger when doing anything. Because the bandage prevented him from using it. So next year or if you see us at a summer comp. Team 716 ask to see "Tom's finger" I'm Brian if noone know what your talking about ask to see me.
