Re: Lunacy Wheels Static Electricity

rsisk,
Simply mounting the components to a plastic or wood board is sufficient (as long as the fasteners don't also contact your robot's chassis). The goal is to keep any single wiring fault from allowing current transfer through non-wiring metal within your robot.

If your chassis is isolated and then 1 wiring fault occurs, there won't be any problems. For example, let's start with a camera chassis that is mistakenly connected to the robot chassis. If a 12V line then contacts the chassis with a grounded camera chassis, let the fun (aka welding) begin...
