Also with our current design, the limitation is regarding height as the cRIO with modules and breakout boards inserted is too tall and sticks up into where the ball is planned to go; which seems unwise since the ball could easily bump and heavily damage the breakout boards if they remain in their original positions.
You might try one of these....A 3D printable cRIO cover looks very protective.
