    Typo in the manual where the rivets are referred to with the wrong part number. Quality if the components is very good, but I'm not happy with the compatibility. I am using an Arduino UNO R3 and have two genuine Arduino shields. Neither the motor shield nor Ethernet shield fit correctly right out of the box. There are not enough adjustments for height of the plastic panels. I like the modular design, but if no shields fit, what's the point? I will probably 'mod' the enclosure and make it work better. There should be a list if compatible shields as well as some assembly ideas for other ways to put it all together.
