I feel for you Dave. At least you can get a replacement from Will and as already suggested you could repair the damaged one and keep it as a spare. I always worry about the bubble, I've got one of Fred's and I keep it carefully wrapped and in it's box ready for the day I install it.

Don't feel too bad for me. I'm only a victim of my own stupidity. You're right though, it will all be good in the end.

Don't throw away the arms until you are done tweeking.
They can be your stunt-robot-arms.

hehehe. Sorry guys. Couldn't help the drama.
Well actually the title wasn't too far off. It was a tragedy of sorts. Another case of being tired, in a hurry and frustrated. While upgrading a servo in my B9 arm build I neglected to remove a screw sticking up. I powered up the arm and moved it out of the torso under computer control. The flange of Will Huff's arm skin was still anchored to the forso. and the screw grabbed one of the bellows and stretched it out till...... RRRIIIPPP! It happened right in front of my eyes and so fast all I could do was drop my jaw (along with a warm, wet feeling down the leg of my pants). Kinda like watching a train wreck.
Thank God Will was in the middle of the last arm run of the year and was able to fit me in. Thanks Will!! What I don't have in my brains, Will now has in his wallet. LOL! (grown). Attached are a few tragic pictures.
