    There are companies who sell "ruggedised" Arduino clones that are designed to withstand most bad things you can reasonably do to them without actively trying to break them. One I've had particular luck with is the Ruggeduino. Dunno if that's still sold, but just google it. Commented Jul 31, 2017 at 16:30

    DO NOT use the Arduino-UNO tag for other boards, and doubly so when the differences are likely related to the problem. Commented Jul 31, 2017 at 16:37

    Which boards? What did you short-circuit exactly? An output pin to ground? See Have I bricked my Arduino Uno? Problems with uploading to board - possibly the board can still be used in some capacity. Commented Jul 31, 2017 at 20:54

    From the title, I was expecting a question about the health & safety hazards of placing dozens of arduinos side-by-side and igniting them like a chain of dominos. Commented Aug 1, 2017 at 13:43

    Stop causing short circuits. Fear the vibrating electrons. It helps if you shock yourself immediately after. Commented Aug 1, 2017 at 20:42
