Re: torque spec?

This is just a thought, and not a verified solution.

By the looks of this from the picture, there might still be about three threads left on the stud.
If you can find (or make) a M6 standoff with a male shaft on one end and a female on the other, you might just be able to "patch" this PD.
Make certain the female end engages the remaining stud by three threads, tighten it to spec. Then you should be able to connect the negative wire to the stud on the standoff.
Again, I would not use this repair on a competition robot, but it should be good enough to salvage this one for learning and practice robots.

Man, that was a $189.00 booboo.
