pic: Roborio mounting and protective case

[BrendanB]

A lot of good ideas in this thread. I was thinking about something similar last night as we are working on a project with the Sasquatch controller that is extremely exposed in comparison to the roboRIO.

We'll probably design a case soon but something that does concern me a little with this iteration is the ease of removing the RIO and a little more coverage.

For the base I would tap the bottom of the standoffs and connect that directly to the robot frame and either velcro the RIO in or use zipties but make them easily accessible. The cover I would us velcro to attach it to the base for easy removal without tools/hardware and make it a 5 sided cover that extends down to provide more coverage around the perimeter which is where you need it most. If your cover is easy to take on and off you don't need to worry about providing clearance to get your fingers in to connect wires.
