Re: were there robot related injuries on your team?

I had an injury this year because of my own stupidity. Some guys were cutting some 8020 extruded aluminum for our arm with a hacksaw (we're too poor to buy a ban saw) and they were taking forever. Well, time was getting short as well as my temper so I asked them what was taking so long. It ended up being that they had to make two cuts to completly cut through the aluminum and one was about an 1/8" off. The aluminum was in the vice and they had wasted quite some time trying to get the hacksaw to cut through sideways. I got angry and just grabbed the aluminum and snapped it off downwards with my hands curled around it. Well, in my anger I forgot to turn the vice away from the table so I ended up smashing my finger between the aluminum and some hefty 2x10's. I lost all the skin on the inside of my first ring finger knuckle as well as gained some nice hairline fractions to go along with it.
