Cameras Getting Smashed

At the velocity balls are launched at, I don't think they can mess up the camera... we tried to get our robot to power off by throwing a ball at it as hard as we could but it wouldn't flip the power switch so I doubt a ball could break the camera.

I would still be wary. last year we had our camera working (and in a plastic box) and it got bumped by a tetra i believe. No visible damage (we still have it) but it didn't work after that. these cameras are more fragile than most people think; the power switch should not be your only concern.

I think that one camera will break(as in:shatter

) and three to four will just quit working per regional.
