Does the RoboRio have mounting holes?

We're not seen that in our testing, nor have I seen any RMAs as a result of this, but the screws do use inserts, and given enough force will pop out so I believe you!

With roboRIO you have a variety of mounting options, so use the one that best suits your installation.

Meanwhile I'll keep an eye out for popped inserts - thanks for the report!

We are pretty skilled at breaking things in interesting ways. Next time we pull it off the robot we'll take photos of the missing thread inserts and how we were mounting it.

Thanks! I'd love to see it!

One failure mode with the screws might be over-tightening them initially and pulling the insert out.

That seems like a likely cause.
