What Happens When Metal Gets Into A Jaguar (SMOKE!!!!)

On our practice day at the Michigan State Championship. Our robot began to smoke during a match. At first I thought that the robot had caught on fire because it was so much smoke coming from it. We then took it off the field and mentors from so many different teams cam to our rescue. Even volunteers for the event came to our pit. It turned out that it was a piece of aluminum shaving that fell into the Jag which shut down the fan and caused it to overheat. I really appreciate the help that came from the teams and volunteers( especially team 1718 for the new Jag).

Has any teams had any similar problems???
