Re: How are bellypans made?

We tried some 1/8" aluminum laser cut for us (rev A had serious warping, although rivets fixed it. They built a fixture of some sort for rev B). It works pretty well if you use nylon screws to attach your electronics. I hear the new cRIO is coated so that it's non-conductive, but it's fairly easy just to toss a thin sheet of plastic underneath. We had to cut out our belly pan due to weight constraints though, and now our electronics are sitting on some 1/8" lexan.
