Re: [FTC]: 3D printable Samantha Bracket from AndyMark

Both brackets do the job. Just remember that once you put the USB extension into the bracket, it's in there solid. If you use the Instructables version, use a gear hub or appropriate spacer to keep the risk of bouncing, which could break the USB port in the Sam. If you use the AM Printable one, make one for every module so you can swap it easier. Also helps to loan one to teams in need.

The Surge Protector in use will require a USB adaptor to go between the Surge Protector and the Extension. Wrapping all of this in some form of wire shielding is advised along with keeping cables short and being mindful of wire routing in your robot.

Good luck.
