A student on our team lost, I believe, from the 1st knuckle down (counting from the palm) of one of his fingers at a competition 4 or 5 years ago. We had a drive system with a chain on it and while it was being repaired in the pits, for whatever reason, his hand was in the bot when the robot was turned on. It was very frightening for everyone on the team and was a lesson to us all about staying clear of the robot while it is in the pits.
