Re: Shock Absorbers for the electrical system

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.

Good to know, though. Thanks!
The tests were conducted at my instruction. It is important to us that the robot be able to withstand the most violent conditions it may see on the field. We do not plan on slowing while moving from zone to zone.

Further testing with our electronics mounted on a 1" thick foam sheet has, so far, eliminated all of the problems we initially experienced -- except for deformation of the aluminum plate we're using to hold the battery temporarily.
