Great job for some rookies!

I work on the fields at competition, I see a lot of really weird things done with electronics. If you want to make them last, and fairly maintenance free, don't mount them face up like you did in this picture. Mount them standing or face down (just rotate the crio 90 degrees). It keeps all those pesky metal/wood shavings and dust from causing lots of issues down the line.

It certainly doesn't look as nice quickly, but if you take the time you can figure out a way to make it look real good. (And don't forget your Radio too!)

This step is crucial if you use jaguars also, but the victors and talons can probably get away without.
