Aluminum Frame
For the NURC competition the team decided to make an aaluminum frame, the frame is basically a container for the electronics and it also serves as a support for the motors and cameras.

There is a 2 milimiter groove machined into the top of the frame this provides a seating place for the o-ring that makes the frame water-tight.


On the top where yousee the groove we are going to screw a piece of plexyglass to seal the frame and also to allow us to peak into the robot for any signs of trouble, water or smoke.
We aso decided to lift the electronics off of the base of the container. This will help in case that there is leak; it will take some ime for the water to get to the electronics. We can have up to three liters of water in there before the electronics get wet.
