Cyberblue had some cool blue flames going on the side of our drive this year. They were this kind of really durable sticker thing that held up pretty much all through IRI with only minor scratches & holes.

Yup, in 2001

It was the first match of the year last year when we ran our robot waaaaaay to hard and the motors completely blew out. The whole VCU arena was filled with smoke and the oh so pleasant smell of burning plastic.

Nope.

Due to my "Drive it like you stole it" in 2003 - I had a VIN number on the robot scratched out though...:D

As far as I know, we have never had flames. We did, however, get a victor going a bit too fast and burnt it up pretty good. It was at MWR or Nats I forget. It looked awesome though. It wasn't really on fire but there were sparks.

No flames yet. (Then again, Bob has eight matches on him, running window motors. Flames aren't too likely, if you ask me.)

Meanwhile, I wouldn't mind giving Occam's Razor (1293's next foray into FIRST) a nifty paint job. Or keeping the super-fly electrical tape numbers.

No flames real or graphics, but a funny story:

I 2002 we had some fun and put a fog machine on our cart. The guys who made the cart put a bit of time into it and the fog was routed out a bunch of small holes on the top side of the cart, where the robot sat. While waiting by the side of the field for our the match ahead of us to finish up, we turned up the fog on the cart, everyone on the team knew what was going on and the drive team was nonchalantly watching the match, but the field officials were not so comfortable with the large plume of fog rising from our robot, thinking back it did look a lot like smoke, one of the officials came up to the drivers with a fairly large fire extinguisher and asked if we needed it!

Our team had some smoke erupting from our robots quite a few times during the FIRST competitions. We also had a flamethower on our robot that competed in Steel Conflict last year. It is quite amazing what can be done with an old camping stove you picked up for $15 bucks at a garage sale.
