Fail #1: No safety glasses when working with tools.
Fail #2: While doing Fail #1, put the drill bit in backwards.

I see we can expect a sick shooter from G-House. Any pics or vids of the final robot? Hope its powdercoated yellow again! See you guys at Trenton next weekend.

How do you put a drill bit in backwards?!?!?!
That seems pretty crazy to me, maybe its because i'm a machinest.

Was that shooter designed by a pirate? I see he signed it.

[Mr. Ivey]

I hope he knows that you can break certain bits by putting them in backwards. Mainly smaller wood bits, but it can happen. You get the same thing when you put a small bit in the chuck pretty far. It kind of shatters.

This guy Rick kept putting jigsaw blades in backwards- one time he actually tied to cut with it before anyone caught it.

[Wetzel]

He is also using the power to tighten the chuck which is not the best of ideas...

Could someone make an emotiocon of the frown face with its eye poked out. maybe an X for one eye.... Seems like this could get used a lot of this forum.

There are several people in my group who don't always where safety glasses.
I am trying to change that.

to address the safety glasses, they are on his head, its a hint of yellow cause we own DeWalt glasses, but you are right, glasses don't work when your wearing them on your head and sorry we don't powder coat, its a simple built it, we like it, take it apart prime and paint it with Krylon.(Sun Burst Yellow) and no NJ regional for us : ( we cant afford more that one, we will be in NY Javits Center WAHOOOO!!!!
