Re: Liquid Gases on Robot as coolant

No, although I suppose someone might be capable of doing that. I was rather suggesting that pouring a rather minute amount of LN, or a similar supercooled, non-toxic gas onto the circuitry, and letting it evaporate in place of the circuits heating up, is technically the only feasible way to keep the circuitry cooled without completely enclosing the system, and thus removing most of liquid gas's benefits.

I'm not advocating doing any of this, aside from spraying it down with compressed air every so slightly before a match if circuit heating is a real issue, due to the extreme dangers of burning if it's mishandled and the usage is done poorly; just saying it could, ever so possibly, be legal.
