I would like to see what else is there.
We never do any drilling on a robot with any electrical parts attached unless a vacuum is sucking away chips and swarfs from the drill. Lexan, Wood, Aluminum, Poolnoodles, nothing is drilled unless a vacuum is there.
Once we were using a piece of scrap metal to determine angle on last year's bot's Lexan, and almost contacted bare battery terminals.
