Re: Mounting the Robo-rio using Zip-ties?

For our beta testing of the RoboRIO, we took our beta system to the Battle of Baltimore competition. The RIO was attached to the front frame of the robot using two zip ties to those mounts. Nothing broke. Everytime we took a hard hit, the RIO got jostled and hit the frame. We *may* have had one Analog Input come loose, but that was it.

Also, I do not recommend using only two zip ties or attachment to the frame for competition. We set it up this way to test the robustness of the system, not because we'd normally attach it this way.
