Static warning!!!
Our team was testing out our robot on a carpet, with the special wheels on a REALLY dry day (we live in NH). After running the robot for a while we decided to work on it. When we touched the robot, to ground our selves, we had BAD static electricity
 . We were even seeing it arc. We think that the wheels were building a charge as we drove on the carpet. Fortunately, we did not fry anything, but we think that we were just lucky. This is just a warning to make sure no other team (like the ones that lives in a cold dry climate) makes the same mistake and fries something. |
