It seems like you would only have problems with components exploding if the Victors aren't kept cool, but that's just my guess.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't from overheating. We had just turned the robot on, and then we heard a pop. Next, it started running toward all the little kids. We also had a Victor from 2005 break, but I think that was from overheating, although we had 4 motors driving, and only one Victor broke.
..the way we see it FIRST isn't about winning a robot contest, its about trying your best to complete a really really hard task in a really really short amount of time. - Stuart [more]
