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.
