Re: were there robot related injuries on your team?

Today, I was drilling holes in this peice of lexan because our robot was overweight. So we were using a 1/2'' drill bit I believe and I was holding the peice down because it was a very large peice of lexan and we couldn't clamp it, anyways something happend and we went down too fast and it kind of twisted up and cut me in 3 different spots on my hand. One was very deep, and hurt like a mother but no big deal. Looks real cool too!

Re: were there robot related injuries on your team?

No major injuries so far in team 706. I seem to have cut myself lightly on something today, and yesterday... The biggest injury we had was not robot related at all... one of the frosh on the team decided it was a good idea to throw an aluminum rod. A shout, bleeding face, etc. The guy who was hit didn't come back this year.

Just one question... WHY DONT YOU PEOPLE PUT YOUR ROBOTS UP ON BLOCKS?!?!

Re: were there robot related injuries on your team?

oh wow does 1923 have some good injury stories.

january 7th: meeting at school after kickoff. we're opening the boxes...i hear...AHHHH!! turns out my friend "missed" the ziptie she was cutting...made a nice lil' slit down her finger with an exacto knife.

and then us just being dumb, and...for example, drilling the side of the lexan that was hanging over the EDGE of the table...

filing UPWARDS towards the face...

and, of course, playing with surgical tubing...

and, at NJ Regionals, a piece of lexan broke off in big sharp chunks...

we used them as awards...only i kept cutting myself on my MOST TEAM SPIRIT award.

oops. =/

Re: were there robot related injuries on your team?

Has anyone noticed how funny it is that the safety award has a pretty sharp point? Honestly, I cannot understand why they don't sand that down or something...
The most serious accident, and the only one of three we have ever had (in two years), happened to me of all people. I was cutting a piece of PVC pipe with a hacksaw. Blade wasn't tensioned right, it jumped out of the cut, and then proceed to slice through my left thumb about an eight of an inch deep... the worst that our machinist mentor said for one week I would not be able to use any power tools in his shop. Aw, man... The nesxt day a new rule was made that if you are doing any sawing (circular/reciprocating/jig/miter/band/hand/hack saw), you will wear leather gloves. If they do not, then I bite their heads off.

The irony of this story? I am the safety captain.

My motto: "That's why God gave us coagulation."

P.S. FYI, I have now been in Boy Scouts for eleven years. Finger nicks, along with most other minor injuries, no longer phase me. I know from experience that they will all (eventually) heal.

gloves=!!!!!!!!VERY BAD!!!!!!!!!!! (VERY BIG AND CONSPICOUS BAD)

only when using hand tools should you wear gloves
when working with power tools, you should never wear gloves, because if they get caught in a moving part, it will rip your hand off

It's not a bad idea for handsaws, but I would NEVER wear gloves around power tools that cut. The last thing I want is for a leather glove to bind on a table saw blade or router bit and pull my hand into the cutting edge. Ask a shop teacher, but I don't think any experienced person recommends wearing gloves around stationary cutting tools.

Re: were there robot related injuries on your team?

I am the programmer on my team, and basically i was the one in control of the dongle. Well we were prototyping with the CMUcam and basically it was supposed to go really fast towards the light if the light was far away. Basically while i was holding onto the dongle, out mentor had the light on a cart and was standing a couple of feet from the robot (so the robot should go slowly towards him). I flipped the dongle out of disable and the camera found the light coming through the windows behind our mentor, and just plain ran our cart over. Thankfully I hit the disable switch before the robot reached our mentor who froze in his place.

Re: were there robot related injuries on your team?

I got hit in the face 2 minutes ago by a flying piece of nylon space that broke off in the lathe. Thank FIRST for safety goggles. Still got a nasty stinging sensation in my face.
