If my memory serves me, the Jag right next to it was hooked up to two motors. Obviously, that didn't cause any damage, because it was functionally equivalent to not being connected at all. It was quite humorous though, especially because the one person we suspected of actually doing it had to leave that meeting early.

I find it humorous that you can remember exactly what it said, as well as where it was!

Although you are partially wrong; the masking tape was over where the fan would be.

Your wife is a very understanding woman!

We have once wired a black jag backwards (power to motor output, motor to power input) and released the magic smoke. Surprisingly, that jaguar still functions and was on our competition bot this year.

It looked vaguely familiar but I typically see the insides with a sheen of aluminum dust...
