I now know what it feels like to tin your fingers. Ouch.

Other than a couple of soldering iron burns, and getting ic's stuck in my fingers, last year at the FIRST Regional in LA I almost got decapitated by an out of control pneumatic arm.

You don't happen to have a movie of that do you?

When I was 5 I grabbed the blade of a fully heated soldering Iron closed fisted. Never again. Lol

When I was at a Regional for FIRST 2 or 3 years ago at Drexel University, I almost had my finger ground into powder by one of our robots gear boxes for the wheels... that wasnt fun... then I almost got run over by one of the other teams' little robot carrying robot.... go figure..... then I too almost got decapitated by a pneumatic arm... might have even been team MOEs.... or maybe it was a team next to them in the pit.... I dunno, I just remember seeing lots of green and that big green tower they always have with them...

.... anywayyyyy

lol,these storys made me laugh for half 20 mins,thi isnt reall robotics,but once i was in the car with dad and at the time i was really fascinated by the ciggy lighter,so i put my finger on it and had a blister for a few weeks.

sorry about being off the topic cos i only started robotics this year,i think i might of once burned myself on the soldering iron

ed1380 · « **Reply #160 on:** April 03, 2008, 11:26:30 PM »

OMG i did that too.
I asked my grandpa what would happen if i touched it and he told me, but i still did it.

michaelsane · « **Reply #161 on:** April 03, 2008, 11:57:27 PM »

I have to say this is one of the better threads. Unfortunately no one has posted videos of anything. PEOPLE!!! FROM NOW ON WEAR A CAMERA ON YOUR HEAD!! lol

superchiku · « **Reply #163 on:** April 05, 2008, 01:31:29 PM »

well the only thing my bots have done so far with me is that they dont actually do what i intend them to when they are run the first timee...

days of hardwork and what do i get in the end... fool reprogram the robot by using a new algorithm

he does have a sence of humor. although its a bit unusual

My most unusual "injury" to date is ferrofluid in my eyes. Stings a bit, but the odd part for me was actually thinking I needed to avoid getting my head too close to any magnets until they were rinsed for fear of the spiking effect of magnetic fields on ferrofluid.

Of course my right eye still tilts a little to the north every now and then

We need to colonize Mars and make sure only the cool people (the average SoR member

) can come with us

I think we should keep Earth only because UPS does not deliver to Mars and I needs my robot parts

HDL_CinC_Dragon · « **Reply #174 on:** April 16, 2008, 09:03:02 AM »

ah crap... youre right.... well were just gunna have to make a shipping lane for UPS... of course, that would mean it would be the Universal Parcel Service instead of United Parcel Service

Trumpkin · « **Reply #175 on:** April 16, 2008, 09:07:04 AM »

Maybe we can build a robot to ship stuff to us.

AndrewM · « **Reply #176 on:** April 16, 2008, 09:16:14 AM »

Stick with humans providing the shipping service. If robots are handling the deliveries it would be almost like shipping body parts, and sooner or later they would catch on to that and start seizing the shipments.

good call, the ensuing war could get ugly for us. Maybe we should just find our resources elsewhere anyway. Theres gotta be some silicon under Mars' crust. Besides, the world is going to end in 2012 anyway

Nukes are too obvious, theyre merely poisoning our food
