 Its not really a robotics competition. The robots are merely vehicles used to make society a better place, and to inspire the youth of the world to help one another, and to become more united.

That looks really good, it's definitely useful to have that. What are the dimensions of that robot?

[JOKE]10/10 Removable motherboard plate! (Wonder if anyone knows 3DGAMEMAN) [JOKE]
Are you sure this wouldn't get loose due to strong impacts?

Yeah, how exactly is the plate secured?

We will be using rivet nuts. There will be 6 rivet nuts on the hinge, and another 6 on the welded pieces of mounting angle.
Here is a cool video to show how rivet nuts work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkPhGIaPCVs

This is a pretty cool concept. Rivet nuts are awesome for stuff like this.
What material / thickness is the board? Since it's not doing much structural work you could probably do a relatively thin bit of polycarbonate or a composite.

The rivet nuts look cool! For the Crevolution design, the plates that the Jags are mounted to are lexan, and the one that the cRIO mounts to is 1/8 inch sheet mostly because the cRIO is heavy and I don't want to take any chances here. the cRIO is mounted on its side too, but I think with the roboRIO you could probably make them all out of lexan.

We are using 0.090 Alum, but I am sure lexan could work just as well.

Cool! I may just have to try this idea...
