Coolio. I like the diamondplate. Hardcore. I expect you can traverse the bump in your sleep.

Exactly! At the beginning of the build season, we were like "well, lets make a plastic electronics board instead of a wooden one this time" and then we found that diamond plate left over from last year...at least aluminum is non-conductive ; )

Except that it is conductive...

Shouldn't matter as long as you have your cRIO and camera (if you're using it) mounted with non-conductive bolts+spacers.

Oh yeah...I apologize for the misinformation...I posted this at like 1 am last night and I also see all the misspellings now!
Anyways, yeah, each electronics component is separated from the aluminum by foam rubber. Thanks for pointing it out!
