I speculate it also doesn't smell very good.

In 2006, team 177 was in a frenzy after our first match on Einstein because we thought we had blown a Victor. There was an awful smell, most of our Victor fans weren't spinning, and there was what we thought was a smoke-smudge on the top wall of our controls panel.

It wound up that a tread from the opposite alliance had gotten sheared, causing the smell, but we didn't find out until afterwards. It's scary when you're trying to diagnose a problem in 5 minutes, and need your robot to do 110% on the field in the next match.
