Re: Static Discharge Disables Robot
Which reminds me - everyone is using properly grounded work stations with wrist and shoe straps when handling the bare-board electronics. Right? No? Then at least grounding oneself by touching a grounded frame? Please?

Think of working on the inside of a computer - you wouldn't want to dive in without discharging yourself. Your robot electronics (especially bare-board components) aren't much different.
