Safety Concern

Tonight while we had some people working on our robot (powered on because our programmers were testing sensor readings, but no driving was being done) the robot began to drive one wheel. Nobody was hurt in this incident, but we determined that the cause of this unwarranted driving was a blown black Jaguar speed controller. It appeared to short, but there were no signs of damage on the circuit board of the Jag. Blown Jaguar for no reason. Just wanted to inform everyone to always be careful when working and whenever possible, work with the robot powered off.
