Re: covering...
We had to mount our electronic board vertically on our arm...so the electronics would be completely unprotected if we didn't cover it with lexan. We also mounted the board itself so it acted as a wall of the arm...therefore the mount itself is lexan as well.

Re: Covering your electronics
We use lexan every year to cover up our electronics and pneumatics, first off the lexan gives u protection from tetras that can fall on the electronics or if a robot rams into your side the lexan protects everything on the inside, also like many of you have said before its a good space for graphics and labels for your sponsors and team number and name

Re: Covering your electronics
We mounted our electronics and pneumatics stuff to a lexan board and mounted the board upside down and put it on hinges, so you can fold it up and work on it. This works really well because most of the debris falls on to the chassis of the robot and out of the electronics board. And we mounted the OI right side up with some spaces so it is under the lexan but facing up so you can see it.

Re: Covering your electronics
Our electronics are exposed. Only thing really protected is the Robot Controller. We orginally has a "rib-cage" made out of lexan, but during finals...we were in too much of a hurry t remember to grab it...it didn't matter thiugh, but a tetra would easily kill our circuit box. I want to try and find some 1/8" lexan and maybe make something for nationals thats a little better.

This year we used the transmission support plate from the kit, turned it upside down and mounted the fuse panel, OI, main circuit breaker and the back up battery. To cover those components we took a piece of lexan mounted all the remaining electronics and pneumatics stuff to it and turned it upside down, making sure nothing was covering the OI. The radio was mounted on the frame, high on the arm. |
