This is an excerpt from an "almost" real-life experience:
Lalala, look mom! My robot has four motors! Two on each side to power the
tank treads. Is this cool or what!?
*All of a sudden, the robot makes a strange noise, emmits some smoke, and
stops*
What happened!? Oh no! all these motors powering this ultra cool robot broke
all my gears and did a feedback loop to the RCX which disintegrated like
those people in funny suits on that show called Star Trek! What do I do
now!?
