Protecting the victors from having little bits of metal fall into them and short them out is important, but so is protecting the RC. During build last year (or was it two years ago, now... I forget) we had a small aluminum chip fall onto the RC and land in such a way that it shorted out a couple of unattached I/O pins on the RC. This led to all sorts of RC weirdness... thankfully no permanent damage... but since then I've figured that having a lid over everything is a big asset.

This is a great exercise, though... I might have to set a few of my students loose on a similar project just to get them thinking and practicing on inventor.

P.S. Yeah, I know... never drill or cut over the electronics... but those little chips get everywhere.
