If you plug a cheap soldering iron in, then forget about it and go to dinner, when you come back even the handle will be hot enough to burn.
Lesson 1: Don't use cheap irons and always unplug them.
Lesson 2: Making a part look pretty even after it is functionaly done can be a very good thing, espically when the part gets cut from the bot and you get to keep it as a trophey. Take pride in your work.
Lesson 3: You can not comand a 'bot, only persuade it.
Lesson 3 corellary: The joy sticks only answer to those who they choose. You must first make a sacrifice of zipties and velcro before you can become one with the stick (as in, ziptie and velcro your hand to the stick).
Lesson 4: Heatshrink does not work on the ends of shoelaces. Epoxy does.
lesson 5: Chewing on zip ties is a great stress reducer
lesson 6: a Ziptie by any other name would still hold as strong.
