 If we succeed, we succeed as a team
if we fail, we fail as a team
but either way, we are a team - we go home together
and celebrate our accomplishments, whatever they are
and try to learn from our mistakes. - KenWittlief [more] |

Re: Open Flame in the Pits
Butane powered soldering irons are also good. They usually have a hot knife bit and a hot air bit that gets melting things hot. They get around the open flame rule since they're run off a catalyst once they heat up.
As for the rule itself, I don't think there's any other power tool a team could currently use that could actually being down an entire event. Not without serious misuse. A propane torch pointed the wrong way could quickly shut the entire event down.

Re: Open Flame in the Pits
We've recently discovered this works great for polycord: http://www.amazon.com/858D-Station-S.../dp/B009PPRJHS
I happened to have one and brought it in. You might try it on cord or rope. But if you do get one, I HIGHLY recommend making a modification for safety's sake. They wired the neutral wire to the fuse rather than the hot, so even if your fuse blows, you still have 110V running through your unit.
