we dont have any skins or covering over our robot, but all of our electronics are in a sealed box in the heart of the base. A few wires are visable, and two potentiometers... but theres enough chain going around everything that i think a tetra would get stuck in that first before it hit us where it hurts...

In past years we've had a lower base or there were balls that could easily bounce anywhere, but the tetras are so much bigger we arn't worried about them getting into the small hard to reach places.
