Re: build injuries
I was helping at regionals. An event supervisor asked me to get him a soda.Someone else asked me to bring a box from team room. Got lost because I didn't know Fisher at all then. After wondering around I finally found a pop machine. I balanced the can on top of the box. I was late so I started to rush. Crash! I skid on some gunk on the floor. The soda went flying and the can exploded. Well it leaked. I got the tools to the event in time. But I ended up limping all day.

Re: build injuries
Tried to switch blades for my exacto knife...decided to pull it out with my finger on the blade, cut deep and it bled through several bandages
I'm really dumb. Also, lots of splinters from wood and sanding the surface of my fingernails (but it doesn't hurt ^^).

Re: build injuries
I've gotten several cuts from my utility knife while cutting wood for a Boomilever. I've also glued my fingers together several times, including once around my nearly completed Boomilever, so I couldn't slide my fingers off. Not to mention everything that I've dropped on my toes...

Re: build injuries
Yeah I've cut my fingers many times with an xacto knife because I stupidly used my finger as a cutting board in the absence of oneThings2do wrote: ↑April 5th, 2020, 5:36 pm I've gotten several cuts from my utility knife while cutting wood for a Boomilever.

Re: build injuries
I bled all over my hovercraft test after cutting my whole thumb down the middle, after having to cut a splint for our wright stuff on my hand. BIG MISTAKE. I'm pretty sure we didn't do good, because they didn't grade the pages I bled on. I was also feeling pretty ill after it, so I failed that invitational.

Re: build injuries
I put my blood, sweat, and tears into our tower... as in, it was really bad and I spent a lot of time but not enough time on it, but I cut myself and accidentally smeared it on the wood, had eye irritation from CA glue fumes, and got sweat all of the tower from my fingers holding it nervously at Regionals.
Additionally, once I cut myself during an activity that involved building a wind-powered vehicle/sailboat thing with a team. I didn't notice until a couple bloody fingerprints either. We started joking about how the blood powered the vehicle(don't ask). Blood is technically a renewable resource.

Re: build injuries
Heh, I cut my palm, then cut my pinkie (almost to the bone :0) on sheet metal while building my ramp for GV. Be careful with sheet metal lol.

Re: build injuries
My friend was helping me with a hovercraft. He was holding a motor. A propeller was glued to the motor, and I turned the motor on. The glue wasn't strong enough, and the prop flew off and cut his hand. It didn't draw a lot of blood, though he still brings it up to this day...
