Holy smokes! That's got to be the most magic smoke I've ever seen. How many of their parts needed to be replaced?

Every electrical component needed to be replaced, they lost everything, including the wiring. The team had it back on the field in two or three matches.

One of the control systems experts showed me a picture of their wiring with all the insulation burned off. Looked absolutely nasty. I'm glad they recovered!

To be clear, they missed 2 or 3 of their matches, not 2 or 3 total matches.

It just shows what 150 amps at 12 volts DC can do.

As a lesson learned, are there any pictures we can use to show what may happen when things really go wrong?

Let us all learn from this and not make the same mistake ever again or should say try not to.
