Exactly why I *was* okay with them blowing up, but originally asked to =20
see if there was any way to reduce potential damage.  Now  though, I =20
am concerned with the one report of a resistor violently blowing up.  =20
The automated workcell was built for multiple purposes and we thought =20
we could make a 3D printer out of it too with the addition of an =20
extruder head.  This is just for the fun of it and I really don't need =20
it for anything useful, sensitive to downtime =3D almost zero.

Cheers,
-Neil.
