In class I managed to snip through several cables while trying to strip them.  Luckily my awesome teammates had things under control, and I even learned that you just have to strip the ends of a wire, rather than the whole thing!  We followed everything like the video said, but when the moment of truth came, our radio picked up a whole lot of nothing. 

Overall, it was a very hands-on and interactive classroom project.  I got excited at the thought of learning how to build a radio, but unfortunately it didn't work.  I got my hopes up, and it just ended in failure... story of my life.

And now here's a picture so you don't think I'm making this up...
