Re: Velcro
Just this morning our robot autonomously backed off a 33 inch high table and crashed back-first, bumperless to the floor. Our cRIO, Jaguars, Spikes, PD, DSC, 120A breaker, gaming adaptor and solenoids are all mounted only with this super-adhesive-backed velcro tape from McMaster - product # 94985K913. Some of our bumper zone welds failed but not a single control component moved (except the battery which was not secured whatsoever at the time).
I had been daring my team to collision test the velcro for weeks because I didn't think it could endure, but apparently I was wrong. It might not hurt that all of our electronics are squeezed in so tight that there's barely any room for things to move.
