Please let the lead mentor know that many people with years of experience as FRC technical advisors say to put the wireless bridge out in the open. Not just because it keeps the lights visible, but because it is a radio transceiver. If it's surrounded by enough metal and electrical components to make it hard for a person to see, it'll very likely be hard for the field's wireless access point to "see" it too.
