Re: What's the Stupidest/Funniest Thing you did in Robotics during the '06 Season?

Well, for prototyping and testing purposes, we had allowed our pwm cables from live speed controllers just hang unplugged while we tested. Well, I went to turn on the bot, and a massive cloud of smoke rolled out from our eelctronics. I had completely burned the ground insulation off when a cable shorted the power screws to a victor. Luckily, the brain was unharmed.

A year or two ago, close to our entire team piled into an elevator and made an unexpected stop at the basement...

I guess we're pretty mild.
