Re: Protecting our cRIO
I would highly suggest you protect the CRIO we had a similar set up with the main breaker in 2012 and the bridge landed on it 20 seconds into a match both shutting off our robot and shattering the breaker. Luckily its an easy to replace component that is fairly common ( we had an extra just because). Although its illegal to hit within the bumper lines, it happens and i assure you that your CRIO is worth more than the penalty points. This year there is no bridges but a ball could land on it and its easier to fix a polycarbonate sheet then it is to find and replace a CRIO.
I assure you its better to take the precaution now then be sorry you didn't later
