Go to Post The object of the team is not to design, build and compete a robot, it is to design, build and compete students. If after four years we have opened a student's eyes to the infinite possibilities they have in their life, it is worth all the effort. - adunakin [more]

Re: Material on robot question

I agree with Al. Only thing I can think of is to mount it so there is no risk of the vial getting broken and leaking on the field or any risk of glass or plastic shards ending up on the field.

Just curious, are you going to point the camera at it?

Re: Material on robot question

If you intend to use the level to help balance your robot, you're probably better off using an accelerometer, which will provide essentially the same functionality in a small package that connects directly to your robot controller.
If you plan to use it in some other way... more power to you, and please share when the season is over!
