Blown Talon SR

After finishing the basic wiring, we thought we should test if everything lights up correctly. Turn on the robot and BOOM! A muffled explosion and a smell of peanut butter. Turns out one of our Talon SRs blew up. We thought it was the internal capacitor and after searching a bit, we found that more people recognized the same peanut butter smell, which confirms our theory.
