You might try these screws. Pretty cool looking and easy. But, that price ....

For most situations I would just go with zip ties, as shown on pages 25-29 of the doc that ollien linked earlier: http://www.ni.com/pdf/manuals/374474a.pdf

Dual-lock is quite different (and better IMHO) than Velcro. The key advantage is that there is only one "type" so you can't stick the wrong stuff on one side. You also don't run out of one type and have loads of the other.

Also it "clicks" together, rather than mooshes like Velcro. It's great for electrical, i use it on just about everything electrical that has a flat bottom, including the RoboRio. McMaster #94935K43 is what we usually get.

We used the screws this year and had several of the inserts come out of the plastic moldings. We had holes made in the belly pan for zip ties as well and just reverted to those after we started having issues.

The threaded holes are perfect for mounting the RoboRIO to a custom plate with attached strain relief.

a little bit of googling, with a small detour, brings us a picture of the bottom of the roborio.

We're not seen that in our testing, nor have I seen any RMAs as a result of this, but the screws do use inserts, and given enough force will pop out so I believe you!

With roboRIO you have a variety of mounting options, so use the one that best suits your installation.

Meanwhile I'll keep an eye out for popped inserts - thanks for the report!

We are pretty skilled at breaking things in interesting ways. Next time we pull it off the robot we'll take photos of the missing thread inserts and how we were mounting it.

Re: Does the RoboRio have mounting holes?
 

I suggest using both the Velcro and zip ties, its always good to have a back up incase one breaks.

Thanks! I'd love to see it!

Re: Does the RoboRio have mounting holes?
 

One failure mode with the screws might be over-tightening them initially and pulling the insert out.

Re: Does the RoboRio have mounting holes?
 

That seems like a likely cause.
