Re: Secondary Computer on Driver Station

1706 last year had a custom built computer that weighed 2 pounds. This year was are using an O-DroidX board. My mentor and I debated about what to use, but the DroidX board won. As for mounting, we designed a case in CAD, then used our 3d printer to mount it, as well as a fan on the mount to cool it. We 3d printed a mount for our kinect as well.
