Mounting of router

I just looked at the 2014 FRC Inspection List and under Robot Radio it says, "Radio must be mounted so that its LEDs are visible to field personnel" and referencing R62 The Wireless Bridge must be mounted on the ROBOT such that the diagnostic lights are visible to ARENA personnel.

Well, our electronics board is installed with drawer sliders and is located under the robot deck. My thinking is that the "radio" router is not going to be allowed underneath there. We were only worried about inspection where we could roll the board out on the drawer slides.

I think if you are at the right angle, you might be able to see the lights, but without being next to the robot until tomorrow, I won't know.

So I guess we'll have to mount it up on the deck somewhere or am I misunderstanding it?

Thanks for any input. If I don't respond it's because the internet at the school won't allow me to post here, but I can read everything. Weird but that's the way it is.
