Shock Absorbers for the electrical system

[Chadius012]

My team is using sergical tubing under the bolts on our electronics board to absorb the shock of going over the bump. We also added a temporary roll cage out of steel because we crushed one of our cRio modules after flipping our robot.

We are also using surgical tubing, both on the individual components mounting, and on the mounting of the panel to the robot.

So far it seems to work nicely.

I guess while we are here anyway, we should talk about the vibration isolators that come with the compressor. I am guessing they will not stand up to a lot of the harsh environment we will dish out this season. Those isolators were meant to keep vibration generated by the pump from affecting other devices. Not the other way around.
