Use Velcro on your Control Board!!

[thefro526]

I know this is a bit late but, regardless of how much your control board weighs or the shape of it, put some Velcro on it. It will not hurt anything and just make sure you mount it securely enough to your control board. Also we have had our controls knocked off and knocked other peoples controls off and I will say this, screw the penalties if there is a robot speeding at your wall that looks like it may be out of control.

When we would go out for a match I usually held my hand out about 4" away from our control board if I saw a robot coming. I would ask the ref before doing this and as long as you don't touch the controls you should be fine. Also don't hesitate to save your control board. Control Board > 10 points.
