Yeah, I remember that night too. Arefin was in our pits every 5 minutes..."do you have a bolt that looks like this?" I held the flashlight while they reassembled it. Too bad "we'll fix it in software" doesn't work for weight problems. Which begs the eternal question, "which is heavier in code - ones or zeros?"
