[sudo-discuss] robot dead

[Jake]

this afternoon apparently someone used the robot in sudoroom and while they
were using it, one of the motor driver circuits burned out.

tonight the other Jake and I worked on it to try to figure out where the smoke
was coming out, and we couldn't figure it out but we are going to order a
replacement part for another motor driver circuit that has a known bad part,
and hopefully that will fix that one and we can swap it in.

in the meantime the robot cannot be moved from its present position, sorry.

if anyone knows what happened I would appreciate knowing more than just
"someone broke the robot and didn't want to tell anyone"

thank you
