Re: pic: Roborio mounting and protective case

I for one think this is a very good idea. Although this is akin to the sidecar, which is typically mounted deep within the structure. If your design necessitates mounting to an exposed surface, this thing will shrug off a bouncing rebound rumble ball.

It is made out of ABS and a 6.25" square of 1/16" polycarb. Anyone who has touched either of these materials could attest to their properties.

Will it survive a frisbee or a yoga ball? Ask yourself this: would a naked rRIO survive better?

You guys are really being harsh. My count is near nil for CAD files posted on CD that get berated for lack of stress testing. What about that thing that jammed into the 8-slot cRIO to hold a sidecar, or the Tower of Talons thing.

Yeah it won't survive a worst case scenario. It wont even stop a freight train. Perhaps consider casting it from pure Adamantium.
