If it gets that hot when not shorted, thats bad. If it shorts, thats bad.

Well, I glued it back together with epoxy, but while it was drying two of the battery contacts got stuck together. I geuss I'll just make another one in an altoids tin, since I have a few of those laying around. And I'll take the battery contacts from the hummer I got last night. At least it'll be easier to make everything fit in the altoids tin since it's so big.
Optomists say that the glass is half full.
Pessimist say that it's half empty.
Engineers say that it's twice as big as it needs to be.

What's the deal with Altoid tins? I know they're minty fresh, but why do people like them?

I guess because they're cheap, convenient, and a decent size. If you want something smaller you can use Goo Gone and rubbing alcohol to remove the stickers, adhesive, and expiration stamp from a Tic-Tac box. (That's how I made my serial port IR reciever's case.) You just have to be careful; drilling those. :P (They crack and split easily.)
