Super Circuits has an amusing story of how they simplified the setup of a “bait car”

Can you visualize this? The space we were working in was 2”X5” wide, with Jake trying to squeeze his hand into this small space and attempting to attach a camera on the side of the opening with two different glues going. Although we did manage to get it to work, it took a couple of hours, two people and several attempts.

There had to be a better way.

I walked away from this situation thinking “it shouldn’t be this hard”. Obviously, there isn’t an option, nor does it make sense, to redesign vehicles around camera installations. So with that off the table, I was left trying to figure out what I could do to make it easier for people whose primary job is not installing electronic components, but is to capture the bad guy with the assistance of electronic components. Here’s what we came up with.

The answer is foam.
