Re: Electronics Board and Physics

We were able to purchase isolation mounts for the main circuit board from McMaster Carr. Note the CRIO is rated for 100g's. We were more concerned with wires coming loose than damage to the electronic equipmdent.

We made isolation mounts for our jaguires using 2 pieces of 1/8" plywood with egg crate foam between the plywood which works better than the comercial mounts.

In addition we are using pneumatic wheels the reduce the impact forces when going over the bumps.

Our suspension keeps all four wheel on the gorund as we go over the bumps to reduce the hammering the robot takes as it comes down the back side of the bumps.

Without the above modifications we managed to break one of the kit wheels
