Re: Mounting 2009 Controller and Components
I had heard about the cRIO having a grounded enclosure, but, oddly enough, neither I nor a bunch of other people were able to find continuity between any part of the cRIO's chassis and the robot's ground, on Team 1114's beta-test robot. Some people I talked to theorized that this could have something to do with the 12V to 24V conversion circuit - can anyone shed some light on this?

In any case, 1114 had the cRIO mounted (using Velcro), without incident, to an aluminium sheet along with the rest of the control system. It's feasible, but, as Dave indicated, its legality has yet to be disclosed.
