Re: surefire ways to break you robot

1)try and show off your week 6 robot (just days before ship date) to your school at the valintines day assembly
2) while attempting 1. have the programmer control the arm (not the arm operator)
3) remind him that the claw is only ziptied on, and that under no situtation do you try and raise the arm while it is holding the ball, he can scoop up the ball, and he can rasie the arm without the ball, but CANNOT raise the arm with the ball.
4) watch him raise the arm with the ball, shaking head while hearing zipties snapping...
5) watch claw fall off in from of 1000+ students...
