Re: Electrical Board Mounting

Our board is plastic bolted down to the robot's frame, with everything screwed and/or velcro-ed on. The wires are "organized" (I use the term loosely at this point) with zip-ties. Sorry, no picture yet. Right now it looks like a mess but it will get better once we're sure everything is plugged in right. 'Cuz, you know, it helps to actually know which jag is plugged into which port. Thank goodness for the label machine. Also, if you want to be entertained and frightened out of your mind at the same time, attach the test board with (flimsy) zip ties and ram the bot into the wall. It wasn't on purpose, but it sure was interesting. Oops...
