Suicidal Victor 884's...

[Caleb Fulton]

We had a Victor start to smoke on our prototype bot after only around 5 minutes of running around on the ramp...

We took off the fan and saw that one of the SCR's or (whatever they are) had cracked IN HALF and shorted out the two next to it, causing the plastic to melt and smoke, etc...

We were using the Bosch motors with a 30 amp fuse (the 40's were not here yet) and it was a very random event... Does anyone have any ideas as to what went wrong? Are these things still under warranty?
