If you attach things with Duallock (skip velcro, IMO) be sure to multiply the weight of the piece by the number of g's acceleration you think it might take in a collision in order to determine the amount needed. We are planning a hinged board this year, but it won't be to access additional controls, but the battery and much of the pneumatics system.The hinge will be mounted an inch away from the chassis on standoffs so that we can route the wires to/from the chassis through that gap. Always use stranded wire on robots, especially if there is a hinge or other articulation between the components at either end.
