[ConKbot of Doom]

Yeah, victors don't like having things shorting out the FETs. In the 03 chesapeak regional. Someone dropped a screw into a vic and our genius head electrician said, its just a heatsink, its not live, leave it. Because we had a match like right then.

Well it was fine at first, but I guess the screw shook into a "better" position, and boy did the smoke pour out. The side of the victor was entirely melted, it melted part of our electronics box, and melted some wires. Some of you that were there probably remember this. They got out a fire extinguisher on our bot, it was that bad. We ended up having to rewire most of the electronics.

Moral of the day: There doesn't need to be anything else conductive inside the victors.
