Re: Clicking and bad-smelling electrical
I noticed that one of our students had wired up the main battery cable backwards on our practice electrical panel. I pointed this out to the other electrical persons and they corrected it. I will make sure to let the person who did the backwards work know that it was not a good idea.

And... always have two other people check any wiring before allowing a battery to be connected. Teach the students that this is a rule to follow always, lest they have to pay out of pocket for $400 worth of motor controllers.
