This is an account of all incidents involving haksaw.

Haksaw peddled too hard on the generator bike built by Remowylliams, causing the magnets to come off the fly wheel and attach themselves to one of the iron cores in the transformer coil. This broke one of the magnets, and a few pieces of plastic on the bike itself.

13 March 2013

Haksaw apparently did not learn from previous encounters with forcibly moving servos/motors, and manually moved a servo wired in to a 5v rail on a breadboard power adapter. The generated current put too much voltage backwards through the regulator and blew it.

A Pololu stepper driver caught fire during an early prototyping session of the DoodleBot. A bright warm flame was said to be seen from outside the shop. The stepper driver was declared a total loss with the accompanying breadboard suffering scorching and slight melting.
