Scratched my head on this one for a while.

I believe it's main purpose is to test the hardware, electrical and software components that come in the kit. This was from a time where the kit components where a bit more surprising then they are today. It would be more relevant if the GDC throws us a curve ball. The task also can apply to sensors, software, electronic components as well.

We had a bad habit of disappearing into our cad rooms without thoroughly investigating what was in the kit, how it worked, and it's general limits of operation. Adding the task ensured we at least thought about it before we checked it off.
