Rules: Velcroing Electronics
Last year my team tapped a sheet of lexan to bolt our electronics components on, and although the end result was very spiffy it just took too long.
For a test robot this summer we had to wire it for a demo in about 2 hours, so stripped for time we decided to use industrial adhesive backed velcro to secure all of the electronics components and it worked great! This was on a robot that could flip itself upside down, it took a lot of jolts.
Of course we don't plan to velcro down a cRIO, but for the digital sidecar and victors it could be nice. So my question is. . . would this be allowed under the 2008 rules?
Thanks much!
