Warning. Welding while you still have electronics installed can be catastrophic to them. The machine shop folks will warn you of this and in addition will not be held responsible if said electronics are damaged..

If you are able to, remove what electronics you can. We were not able to remove our electronics board due to time constraints, had to rush to the field as it was after the fix. Luckily we keep a majority of our electronics on Lexan sheets and we didn't have any damage.

Just be aware it certainly could.

Good luck at Champs!

Aloha!

In the past we have been in a crunch we wrapped all of our electronics in aluminum foil... Not sure if it did much but it definitely didn't mess our electronics up!
