Terrible Day in History
I can remember that day as if it were yesterday. I am the one in the red shirt. Unlike what DJ said, clark was the taker of the picture...
It was a cool Feburary night and all things were going well for the TechnoKats. We were doing one of our scheduled test runs when our battery ran dead. Someone brought over a new and improved and not to mention "lighter" battery. Well i guess they didnt know what they were doing. Before we knew it flames had engulfed 1/3 of the test crew. It was terrible, there was screaming and running; flames all over. Thankfully there was a fire extinguisher near by to douse the flames and save the robot, then the crew. Luckly the test crew escaped with only 1st and 2nd degree burns; mostly due to the fact that they were wearing hand-me-down fire retardant suits. It was a terrible day in our history and a great lesson to all FIRST teams. PLEASE DO NOT DRILL HOLES IN YOUR BATTERIES!!!!!
The End
