Question #5 about the Robonova kit?

The manual says nothing about esd(electrostatic discharge) when handling the controller board. I think this is a over site. The board comes packaged in a antistatic bag. It also looks just like a computer motherboard. When handling the controller board I think one should take preventive measures. If damage is done to the board it may be hard to diagnose. A replace board will also cost you over a 200.00 dollars. I think that a anti-static mat and a conducting wrist strap will do the trick. Also do not use a magnetic screw driver around it.
