Re: surefire ways to break you robot

Design the entire robot to be held together using 6/32 screws*.

* 6/32 is usually the most commonly broken tap in machine shops (followed by 10/24), due to the ratio between the diameter and the number of threads per inch. I despise 6/32 with a passion and will avoid it at all costs, whether it means shrinking down to a 4/40 or increasing to an 8/32.
