Electronics Lab
The electronics lab has been the site of an EPIC BATTLE between CHAOS AND ORDER.
On the side of chaos and deterioration:
- EC3 connectors were all gone, nobody mentioned using the last one
- JST-SM pigtails were all gone, nobody mentioned using the last one
- XT-60 connectors were gone, nobody mentioned using the last one
- All the FRAM chips were gone, nobody mention using the last one
If the lab is used primarily by people who ARE INCAPABLE OF SENDING EMAIL, it will descend into chaos!
With apologies to Edmund Burke, all that is required for EMPTY DRAWERS to triumph is for good men to do nothing!
However, all hope is not lost! The forces of order and cleanliness have also been on the march, spearheaded by Charlie and supported surely by numerous others. I know Charlie specifically because he pointed out when the vacuum cleaner went kaput.
HEROES, WE SALUTE YOU.
