Once during a demo at the Riverfront Arts Center on the Waterfront, the leads on our only charger broke. I had to re-solder it with the 25W iron in my travel kit. I had to hold the iron to the wire for over 15 min to heat just to get the sold to melt on the 6 gauge wire. All I had for a work space was a Frisbee to catch the solder drops before they ruined the nice carpet (which I danced on a few weeks later during my Senior Prom at the Arts Center ). So do the job right the first time to avoid problems like that.

when i was soldering a battery wire to a crimp on the last day of the nationals, a bunch dripped on the floor. when we picked it off the floor one of the pieces looked like a head with spikey hair. i colored in a little face and named it "Mr. Solder". We had it as the "pit crew mascot" for the rest of the day. my team is always doing silly stuff like that.
