Remote Rewiring Using Skype!

You can really take advantage of technology to get things done in emergency situations.  During the Open House period of the 2009 Solar Decathlon, the team experienced an electrical issue and I had already gone home to Boston but we still got the job done.

Using skype and webcams I helped the team complete the rewiring so they could participate in the electrical component of the competition without standing guard.  This "enablement" allowed them to spend the evening in the pub!
