FYI, from someone in the industry... 4 years isn't an unusual failure rate, although most do last longer. For example, check out the SABA study (Disclaimer: I currently work for Boston Scientific):

This retrospective, observational study found that "the 4-year survival rate of device battery was significantly worse for Medtronic devices compared with devices from other manufacturers (94% for Boston Scientific, 67% for Medtronic, and 92% for St Jude Medical, P <0.001)."

Anyways, my point with that is... know the expectations for the part you are designing, and do your due diligence accordingly. An electrical enclosure like this is designed to shield the part from debris like metal shavings, not from robot-robot impacts. If your roboRio is exposed to impacts from other robots, this enclosure won't protect it.
We have donut eating contests to see who has the best legs. We paint our pigs. We argue about which time zone we are in. About 400,000 of us gather together to watch cars go around in a circle. We also build robots.Yep, our cultural norm is a bit different. - Andy Baker [more]
