Re: anyother robots smoke up?
Last year at nats our battery lit on fire...we never figured out how/why. We think someone may have dropped it at one point...

burned all of the electrical tape, and melted the insulation off about 6 inches of the 6awg leads. Thank god for the brave ref with good reflexes who grabbed the battery and, I kid you not, threw it a good twenty feet.

Thankfully this happened about 2.5 seconds after the match was over.
