Our robot sort of had real flames on it last year (more of an explosion). We hooked up the current sensors supplied in the kit last year, and because of the intense heat required to get a connection on them, it melted the shielding on our pwm cable that attached to it. This caused a short across the polartiy sensitive capacitor and it created an awsome explosion in our electronics compartment. It turned everything down there black and we had to wipe it off, this was the first time we turned on our robot and it scared us to death, until we looked inside and saw that it didn't really do much serious damage (we ended up not using the current sensors).
