Re: Repairing Power Distribution Metric "Studs"
This was actually a past years one (hence test). It was made by DS. Didn't know about this years. Good to know.

The stud appears to be soldered into the PCB via a pad of contacts. I have desoldering equipment that should be able to get it off. But I am currently thinking of drilling a threaded hole (hard to avoid drilling through the PCB but that's probably okay) or soldering a lug on. Obviously it can't be used in the competition.
