Re: Worst Decision of the Week!
i love the mention of magic smoke .. i heard about it through a mentor of mine, and thought it was of is own incarnation, but it seems many people know of it..
read carefully "BACKSIDE SOLDIER CUP VIEW" for wiring competition port ... DOH! (last year)
runaway robot w/ laptop on top? you think thats bad... we started up a 2003 RC board on our practice bot, it was donated and had no clue that the default autom code was full power forward.. .we plug it in and had autom switch on (accidentially), and it pulled the labtop off the desk, hitting the floor, and the robot lunging forward into a heavyduty drafting desk almost knocking it over, and almost pinching me in between.
but this week.. lets seee.. running around in the auto shop nextdoor, a student ran into a vehicle lift post.. ouch.. <not me
