The only spot on that where you have to be careful is when the wires are going through or around the control board... in the heat of the battle, you won't want the aluminum to pierce through the casing on the wires and short out on you. The original board we had last year was made out of 1/16 aluminum, but we ended up replacing it before we even went to the UTC robot scrimmage before shipping. Good luck to everyone...

: I see no problem with mounting it straght on an AL plate....... if you use good wireing habits and use the wire tie bases you souldent have any problems. and I see no use for electrical insulation between the bot and the controll system..... the case is plastic
