File talk:It Doesn't Die Chassis Mount.jpg

Im wondering what the two "levels" are for.  From what we looked at last night, there is plenty of room in between the transmissions for the battery (as it is shown).  The spacing is 11" and the battery is 7".  Because the cRio doesnt wiegh as much as we thought (3.12lbs), its a little less necessary to balance where it is going, so if we will not need to access it constantly, it would be helpful to put it on the same level as the battery, directly in front of the battery (basically one "level" down from where it is shown.  Where it is shown right now will not work because the trap door slopes down from the top of the battery.  If it needs to be accessed/seen more often, we will need to build a shelf for it, but likely on the side of the robot, as I dont think it will fit under the trapdoor with all of its cards & cabling.
