That reminds me of stories our mentors tell us about how they used to chase our robot with fire extinguishers 'just in case'

Anyone have photos of the Galileo robot that began smoking after the match finished? It played the whole match, climbed up on the ramp at the end, and began smoking after the final buzzer sounded. The referees grabbed the fire extinguisher after a few seconds, but I never saw them use it. (No flames, just plenty of smoke.)

Anyone want to claim this robot or provide additional details/photos?
