Electrical Board Jarring Fix

Since this year a lot of the defenses are robot jarring, our team has decided to build a shock absorbing electrical panel. We are thinking springs or rubber bumpers to put as spacers on the bolts.

What is the best way to not jar the electronics? Do you solve it by having the panel absorb the bumps or the talons etc.?

Re: Electrical Board Jarring Fix

Look into earthquake dampening mechanisms that are placed under building foundations, you might find something you can adapt to work for you.
You could use also magnets, like this: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1099223
