Among all the threads asking the same question or "is this <insert obvioulsy illegal thing> legal?" are some threads where the considerable collective knowledge actually identifies the cause of a tough problem and sometimes a solution. Recent examples are:
2010
Issues with window motors and speed controllers (this thread and others but mostly the one last year that I linked)
The problems with Encoder::GetRate() (only works for half of your encoders)
2011
RS-775 case shorts
Minibot inductors burning out
CAN TImeouts with v28 image
Feel free to add more.
Perhaps mods should sticky more, but people tend to glance over stickies I guess the only way is to to glance over what is being discussed on CD, and focus on the important ones.
