Re: Any funny stories during the season?

-during the early testing phases of our robot we had just finished our drive train and it's code was being tested. the lead programmer let me hang on to the back of our drive base while he drove it up and down the halls of our school, it was lots of fun, video of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mG2IQU0Vqp0
-about a day or 2 before the end of build season my team finally tested our robot's intake roller. on the first try it easily gets control of the ball, but also stalls the motor...about 5 seconds later flames start shooting from the motor and people yelling to "TURN IT OFF!"
