Re: The Magic Smoke...
magic smoke is great, my team over the past few years has smoked many a motor.
drill motor have come and gone quite often, though not too much smoke. servos, when you add WAY too much ampage to them, make a rather acrid magic smoke. though my all time favorite would have to be accidentally putting power to both sides of a speed controller. it was a victor 884. at first the LED flashed from red to green, kind of slowly. then it sped up, going faster and faster until it held at a steady red and sparks shot up out of the muffin fan. expensive mistake, but it was pretty and dangerous at the same time, which is part of what FIRST is to me, having fun with things you would normally never be exposed to. |

i mean, in a sense, doing stupid things from time to time to find out what not to do is helpful. but as for doing well this year, i think that is just because we were lucky enough to come up with a great robot, a drive team that is excellent, and a pit crew good enough to keep it running, programmers to help with the autonomous (have to seriously thank the few who learned C in a matter of weeks to help with it), and so on, the list could go on forever, sponsers, engineers, machinists, it goes on and on... |
