Re: Protecting our cRIO
Where you have it (within the central confines of your frame) should be fine.
Last year we had our cRio on the outermost portion of our frame and after 36 matches at 3 different competitions it was only reset once. This was due to our lacking bumpers (we had small corner bumpers that exposed the meat of our frame at our Regional) and after this competition we switched to bumpers that fully encompassed our robot. We never had a problem at World Championships or at the Minnesota State Championships.
Being that we were primarily a defensive robot, we took A LOT of very hard hits throughout most of our matches. Our cRio only had problems when our bumpers were insufficient. We had other issues, but never with our cRio after the NorthStar regional.
However, that is our experience. Yours may be different - so take it with a grain of salt.
