Re: Anybody let the magic smoke out?
We messed up the RC pretty bad last year. Were were testing out the robot on tether and only had one half of the ramp up. Drove it up to the top of the ramp, then it accidentally launched itself off the cliff on the other side, tearing the tether port off the RC cause the cable wasn't long enough.

I wasn't there to see it, but I'm sure it was a rather embarrassing thing to have happen.
