Re: NI Week Athena Announcement and Q&A Panel

I like the idea of the threaded inserts on the bottom for mounting. Do you know what size these are? While 1/4-20 would be serious overkill, you know teams have plenty of them sitting around from using the kitbot for years, which would make them a decent choice... but in the end, it's just something to add to the McMaster order, so it's not that big of a deal if it's not part of a team's "standard" sizes.

Also, what is the spacing on the inserts? Since they aren't through-holes (I assume), getting mounting holes for them lined up correctly could be a real pain.

I like having so many options for mounting! I have no idea what my team will decide to do...
