Re: Have you ever had flames on your robot? (Real or graphical?)

As a matter of fact we had real flames on the robot, its actually an interesting story. Last year we were all testing the robot at around 10:00 pm at night, i was driving the robot, we started smelling something funny, but discarded the smell as motors heating up. Any ways after abotu 10 second we saw flames, but some fast thinking member who were standing near the bot turned the break off, it was a faulty vector, no damage to anyother components was done, and now we often joke about it. Now we check all our components on a test board first.
