of course if you really wanted to use it for entertainment look at the front
page of a military equipment manual  that has a section on destroying radio
equipment to prevent it from falling into the hands of the enemy.... it
could be purposed that a competition be made of this event with 2 identical
pieces of equipment and two teams......  points would be earned by fastest
time spent in the destruction as well as points being awarded for
completeness of destruction!
