Worst injury

[ReggieB]

We had a lot of problems at anap, once the robot fell off the cart and the chinup system hit someone on the head. He had to go to the hospital and get 3 staples, but he was back later that day. While watching a later match where we did a chinup and got 185 pts (!) the jumping up and down and such caused it to start bleeding again. Back to the hospital, 3 more staples. He's fine now, and has forgiven the chinup system since it helped us win!
He was fine the whole time except for the bleeding, and apparently got some interesting pictures of him smiling with blood on his shirt, etc.
Those that were there might remember the guy from the naval base, before the "quiz" said "I know your head probably hurts by now...." to which dave said "you dont know the half of it!"

Right before we were called up to get our trophy/metals the grandfather of a teammate (who had also helped the team with his machine shop) collapsed. He was also taken to the hospital, and I'm told he is going to be fine as well.

I squished my finger putting our pit together, during the Great Lakes regional this year. It is still purple! OUCH

Personally, my injuries have been nothing big.

Last year, I tried out for comp. team and myself and another student, Joe, were picking the robot up. Joe stand taller then I do and when he picked up the one end...it tilted to the side and well...I ended up getting knocked in the head. No blood lose or anything though.

And just today our robot was running autonomous when it suddenly decided I was prey. It zoomed off target and straight at me. Luckily, I didn't get hit and hey...Since I happened to be holding a camera, filming, I got a great shot of the robot going straight at me!

I think Video Crew has had more then one bad incounter with our robot trying to get at us. I don't think it likes being on camera
