Using vinyl as an insulator?

[RyanJK]

Hey all! My team is pretty strapped for cash, so we're working on turning things that might be laying around an average home into parts for a robot this year. It's interesting to see what can be hacked onto a robot! We're currently working on mounting our control system onto our robot, and we have a sheet of pre-fabricated perforated aluminum that we are mounting things to. The thing is that we need some material to insulate the cRIO and our vision camera. I know typically teams use lexan, but how do you all think an old vinyl record would do? I know that vinyl is considered an insulator and that it's used in electrical tape, but would cutting a piece of vinyl out of a record and placing it under the cRIO work?

Thanks!
