Zip ties are what make the FIRST world go round…

Normally, for a competition bot, we use 6-32 screws to mount our electronics, but right now on our proto-bot, hundreds of dollars of equipment are mounted with zip ties. It actually saved us once this year: We hit the barrier a little too hard, and the particle board we had everything mounted on broke right under the PD board. If that had been bolted down, it would have most likely cracked the mounting holes on it.
