Re: CRIO Shock rating

I was curious to how well the New Control System would handle the shock load of this year's game as well. I've been contemplating borrowing some equipment we have at my job for drop tests and wiring it up to our chassis once it's running and getting some data on how hard it's actually hitting the ground.

Also, if you're concerned with the amount of shock any part of your machine is taking you could get a few resettable shock indicators and put them on the components in the direction you think it's taking the highest shock. Here's the link http://www.mcmaster.com/#shock-indicators/=5hhdlq - You might have to scroll down the page a bit. These should help you figure out how well you need to protect your components.
