What do ya think happeneD?

2 theories:

1. 88 Miles per Hour!
2. Looks like the same effect as an old bug when the collector bots got mining beams to make them more interesting. Sometimes a bot would die while mining without noticing it was getting hurt (shot by other bots, or smacked by a spinning roid), so it wouldn't turn off the mining beam before it died, and the client would forget to stop drawing the beam effect.

lol @ the back to the future reference =)
