Go to Post If we can transform our culture to the point where girls swoon over guys as they pull their dremel off their belt and carve some speed holes in a smooth fluid motion, I think FIRST is half way to its goal. When we get the guys to swoon over the girls for their hot moves on the 5-axis, we have won. - EricVanWyk [more]

I have seen one catch on fire, this year. I don't think we ever learned exactly what the problem was, it had plenty of ventilation and the one we replaced it with never had any trouble. We might have just been running the robot for too long continuously.

The only other time i've seen a victor fail was when a piece of PWM wire broke of inside it and shorted something out.
