Yeah I've been suggesting that and we haven't gotten around to it. What would you suggest? I just said we should put a piece of lexan in front of the electronics connected to the plywood that the jaguars are on.. That would at least protect them from anything hitting from the sides and its a pretty small gap to get in from the top so a ball couldn't get in and mess anything up.

Re: Team 4028 Rookie Robot
Get some 1/8" Lexan and angle it up towards the frame of your hopper. Maybe move the Jaguars closer together so you can use less Lexan. That should be enough to keep most prying arms out of the Jags, but it won't be terribly hard to remove in a hurry if you need to replace a Jag.

you may want to look in to buying a bunch of yard sale signs with blank backs then attaching velcro to them and your bot, word side down. You can attach stickers to them, they are cheap to get and will be a source of endless in-jokes.

No, people don't do that stuff hear, I have seen teams rock yard sale signs as shielding, its practical and easy to do.

Thanks for the suggestions, we ended up just using some spare lexan we had, has worked pretty well so far.
