Re: Robot Mishap

You may want to try drying the pieces off using a hairdryer or very, very carefully with a heat gun. Only once you're absolutely sure everything is dry should you try turning parts on again. I might even try to just incrementally reconnect the electronics. Start with just the non-drivetrain parts and then slowly reconnect power to the pieces. Electronics can get wet, sometimes even short and survive but FIRST robot parts, especially victors are prone to dying from relatively simple shorts.
