Re: Rules: Velcroing Electronics
I have seen a Spike that was attached with Velcro to the inside top of the electronics box come loose in a good impact. Of course, it landed on something bad, resulting in a fair amount of magic smoke and a giant bundle of wires that were melted into one chunk.
Use care if you are going to mount things with Velcro. If bad things can happen if it comes off, you should at least put a wire tie around it before competing.
