Re: Pros and cons of electronics boards/boxes
Team 1318 decided to go with a wooden board mounted a little below the main chassis, attached to the bottom of brackets. That way, when we needed to access it, all we had to do was disconnect everything plugged into it, take out four bolts, and (carefully) lower the board to the ground. Maybe not as ingenious as, say, team 116's box, but it was easy to access, and all the electronics were right there when you pulled it out. The only problem was our arm, if a driver pushed it too far the prong for lancing tetras could hit the RC. Luckily that never happened, but in retrospect, it would have been better if we would have put a clear plastic sheet over the board in that part to make it a little more robust.
