19. Ok, so this just happened (again...) , but if you are drilling into a piece of wood, make sure you have its motion restricted. Fortunately, it was like a 1-inch by 1-inch square so no weird centrifugal forces, but I've see it happen with metal, and I've accidentally sent an 1.5 in x 8 in x 1/8 in aluminum rectangle flying, before.

21. Don't get distracted while reaching for the soldering iron or your fingers will get fried
22. Reach for the top of the buggy when your brakes fail and you have to grab it off the track while testing, because fingers in spinning gears hurts

24. When using a box cutter blade to cut something (e.g. balsa or carbon fiber), pay attention to what side of the blade you push down on.

25. Do not stay up all night on any event! This applies to builds as well as study events. This can result in acute somnolence the following day. Disclaimer: This is my personal opinion and not that of any certified doctor, nurse practitioner, or medical professional.

28. Don't wash off the super glue on your hand with water. When CA and water meet, the CA crusts up into this whitish, hard solid which feels even weirder than just regular crusted CA.
29. Don't cut yourself with a knife lol
