Re: Electrical Connectors

Dale,
The conductive material has not been a problem. Everything you mount has insulation and the perf stock is not connected to any electrical part of the robot. We mount the perf stock with rivets to the frame so even if the whole system needs to be replaced, a few rivets drilled out and it comes out in your hands (usually). Depending on the design of the robot, the perf stock is in sections and distributed throughout the frame. Pretty easy to custom fit with a pair of metal shears.
