Re: Pushing powered off robots?
Last year, my team did not have a cart to move our robot, so we pushed it around the compitition. Later, two of our jaguars stoped working. One of the jaguars completely fried and released blue smoke. We believe that tis happend because of the electricity generated through the motors by pushing the robot. Also, when we pushed the bot, the lights on the jags lit up. We later got a cart and replace the jags and have not had any failures since.
Do not push your robot! Carry it or get a cart.
