-     (p [choosing the right drill bit depends on what job you are doing.
-                  right now, we are making holes for screws to hold the
-                  arduino to the deck.
-                  this means the hole needs to be big enough for the
-                  screw body to fit through.
-                  we want the screw to stay put once it's in place.
-                  we also want the drill bit to be smaller than the
-                  diameter of the thread.
-                  the screw was chosen so that the hole on the arduino
-                  was bigger than the body and smaller than the thread.
-                  we will choose the biggest drill bit that fits through
-                  the hole on the arduino.])
