Subject: [alt-beam] a new idea for freeforming
I have been thinking about free forming a few circuits for a robot I'm
working on, but I didn't like the fact that a free formed circuit is easyly
shorted out if a wire is accidentaly bent, or if something conductive is
dropped into the works. So I had an idea. Free form the circuit like normal
and then cover the whole thing with some 5 min epoxy so that it gets between
all the wires and acts like an insulation. You could go one step farther and
cover it in silicone so you have a shock proof/water proof/dust proof
freeformed circuit, perfect for underwater robots or any robot thats going
to be in harsh environments.
