Re: Wow, wouldn't want this to happen..

Our teams only blew one, two years ago we had just finished the wiring and were beginning to test the programming. One started sparking and smoking, we had a laugh... and a bit of a fright luckly we had two extra. I cant rember what we figured made it die, but I think it was metal shavings shorting the capacitor.
