My bet is the batteries. We've had some Lolipoly batteries (type most cell phones use) go up pretty spectacularly in the robotic combat group. I've also heard horror stories about expensive gadgets like RC helicopters going up in flame (OK, horrible for the owner, cool for the spectators). With batteries getting deeper and deeper storage capacities the energy released during a flame out gets more intense.
