Well Andy, the power supply just quit in the middle of normal operation. I was on site helping the visiting team prep for the contest at the time to witness the failure. I don't think that qualifies as something stupid, in fact im not aware there is a way you could make my station misbehave to failure (all automated), so im gonna go with “unknown hardware failure under warranty.” Tech support was available that Friday afternoon and their response was “it happens”. Good enough for me. Going back.
