 Now I have to re-reverse them, so 80/17 will work right.  Yipes!   
At least they're easy to get to!


 I'm kicking myself HARD for that idiotic blunder!


Don't feel bad about that. A couple of times the students pulled that  
one on me when we were assembling the K2. Fortunately I caught it and  
was able to rectify the problem before we went any further. This is  
why I would insist that two students work together with one stuffing  
the board and the other reading parts values. That way everything got  
looked at twice. It helped a lot but there were still errors.
