Re: Shock Absorbers for the electrical system
If the electronic components are physically isolated from direct hits, then you should be fine. we put together the 09 kit chassis, with blocks to support the wheels slightly lower than usual, and with 1:1 off the kit transmission we drove it over the ramp several times. The robot landed upside-down on the plastic box housing the cRio and Victors, and the cRio lived. The box could not quite say the same.
One thing to be careful of is metal shavings. Victors + metal shavings = magic smoke. Same with Jaguars.
