Re: Have you ever had flames on your robot? (Real or graphical?)
No flames real or graphics, but a funny story:

I 2002 we had some fun and put a fog machine on our cart. The guys who made the cart put a bit of time into it and the fog was routed out a bunch of small holes on the top side of the cart, where the robot sat. While waiting by the side of the field for our the match ahead of us to finish up, we turned up the fog on the cart, everyone on the team knew what was going on and the drive team was nonchalantly watching the match, but the field officials were not so comfortable with the large plume of fog rising from our robot, thinking back it did look a lot like smoke, one of the officials came up to the drivers with a fairly large fire extinguisher and asked if we needed it!
