Re: Screws, Tape, and other Electronic securities

This year, we used the perforated lexan found on AndyMark for our electronics board(each hole was about 1/4"). Most electronics were held down by zipties, and lucky enough, most screw holes lined up with the perforated lexan holes. For the cRIO, we used the screw holes to bolt it down. We also used Velcro for the D-Link. Never this year did we solely tape down an electronic unless it was for testing. On the electronics board, we color coded the zipties that held down certain wires(a color for power cables, a color for data cables). Most wiring done outside the electronics board was organized using spiral wrap.
