Go to Post No, but you have access to the most powerful machine tool of all; a telephone. We had zero machining sponsors, now we've probably had over 30 unique shops run parts for us; All we did was ask. - AdamHeard [more]

Re: Near-death experiences or injuries during build season?

In 2005 we had a spring loaded plunger as a kind of shock for our arm that flipped out at the start of the match. When setting it for the first time the spring was probably twice as long and twice as stiff as it should have been. A fellow student and I worked together to compress it and pin it so it didn't come out, but something slipped and the inner portion launched 20 feet and hit the shop ceiling with some power, missing both of our heads by inches. I also got numerous cuts and scratches in 2005 due to working too fast without regard to safety... Since then I have been averaging about 1 scratch every 2 years or so.
