This thread gets an "A+" From a high school physics teacher! It's what i've needed after 6 long weeks of building!
Now about the "problem"... All our Victors looked that way when we pulled them out of the box 6 weeks ago. They didn't work for us either. After much thought and observation we deduced that the spin on our electrons were backwards. In order to compensate for this, simple replace the terminal posts with left handed screws and it will work perfectly!
PS: that whole mitosis stuff is a bunch of garbage anyway. Those darned Biologist think they are "real" scientist when they only practice applied chemistry and everyone knows that chemistry is really applied Physics.

trust me on the this: change the screws!
