Re: Shock Absorbance
Our robot did not have pneumatic or beach tires to absorb shock (we used VEX Traction/Tread wheels), so we had A LOT of shock and collision. We did nothing special to hold down our electronics. We just did our normal wiring procedure and had no issues. As a safeguard, electrical tape can be used to tape the power cord of the radio on, or any loose wire for that matter. If the whole robot moves as one unit, without wires flying around, they generally won't come out of the connector they are inserted into. Only ones that are not Weidmuller connectors or ones that click (like ethernet or powerpole) really need to be secured further.
