PhatMike, how would you recommend covering up that tubing? Also, what can we do at the compeition to secure the kit frame? We just used their bolts and lock washers/nuts.
I'd take a bottle of loctite and squirt a little on each screw, and screw it back in. FIRST doesnt like you leaving stuff on the field. You should use loctite on all your setscrews (they WILL come off) anyways.

As for the hose, I dont know what you could do. There just has to be a better way of attaching it to that arm other than what you have in the picture. If your arm was in the same match with us, and we got tangled, it'd get ugly. Those hoses are extremely vunerable, and if they're damaged/removed in the match, your basically useless.
