We were unpacking our trailor, and i was using the bot to haul around crates (approximately a 100 lb. load ) when the gyro also freaked on us. It ended up taking out 2 and a half boothes. Luckily no one was there due to the fact that it was before the fair started.

I know you are thinking about why the kill switch on the remote did not work. it was because we were using a vex Robot Controller so it was never meant to operate on such a big scale.
Do you have any pics of the robot itself?
