Re: Lunacy Wheels Static Electricity
The amount of potential energy (static electricity) stored in your robot's chassis will vary, but I do not believe that during a match of Lunacy you will generate any sort of harmful charges in your robot... this does mean that Dave was right when he said mounting your cRIO on your chassis is bad. So in other words...

Listen to Dave, don't mount the cRIO without proper insulation
