Mounting / Orientation of cRIO
Our team (2491) is in the process of mounting our electronics, and we remember from last year that there was a rule that mandated that teams mount the cRIO in a vertical position (mounted on a "wall" as opposed to on the "floor" of the robot). We've checked this year, and there doesn't seem to be any rules about this particular issue. Can anyone tell me if there is a rule about it that we missed, and if not, are there any risks associated with not mounting it vertically (I seem to remember there being some problem with dust collecting on non-vertical cRIOs...)? Thanks!

Re: Mounting / Orientation of cRIO
I can find no rule addressing the orientation of the cRIO within the robot.

If our cRIO had been sideways when we ran the robot into a table with a bowl of salsa on it, perhaps our cRIO would not have become the salsa bowl. (It did... true story.) Please learn from our mistake. ![]() Last edited by jhersh : 17-02-2010 at 13:50. |
