[Robotgroup] Basic Stamp II Repaired

[Paul Atkinson]

So, did you fake the whole thing? ;-)

There were two pins that were bent and probably would not have gone into the
socket. That might have been part of the problem. I still don't quite
understand how 3 pins went missing. Did you use explosives to get it out of
the socket?
