Re: frying control board
Well, I know for a fact that as long as your ground clip stays ON the robot you will be fine, the problem is, that the clip falls off relatively easily, and then it may touch some electronics... 1075 lost a whole robot's worth of Victor 884's (6) and the multiplier chip in the RC, requiring us to get a new one. But, since our sponsor was welding it, we didn't have to foot the bill. Also, if your 'bot is aluminum, I wouldn't recommend MIG welding. All of 1075's welding is TIG... but that's my 2 cents. (I'm not a welder so I don't know if its even possible to MIG weld Aluminum)
