Re: Mounting Electronics

Ernie,
We have used punched aluminum sheet (perf stock) for many years now. Wire ties hold everything in place. That way if something has to be replaced, moved, reoriented or removed a simple snip snip and it's done. Wires are tied down to the perf stock which makes management easy, and everything is secure. A sheet of lexan underneath the Crio insulates that part from the robot frame. The sheet is cut to fit into the frame and is then pop riveted in place.
