The tests were conducted at my instruction. It is important to us that the robot be able to withstand the most violent conditions it may see on the field. We do not plan on slowing while moving from zone to zone.

Further testing with our electronics mounted on a 1" thick foam sheet has, so far, eliminated all of the problems we initially experienced -- except for deformation of the aluminum plate we're using to hold the battery temporarily.
