Re: Velcro

Only had the wireless bridge last year, radio modems before that.
Velcro is OK but not what you would want if your robot will be crossing the bump. 3M makes a product called Scotchlock. It is like Velcro except it is not a loop and hook fastener. It is available from Digikey with differing holding strengths. However, you really can't beat ty-wraps (wire ties). They are cheap, strong, readily available in different sizes and colors and cut off with a wire cutter.
