We decided to go with a perforated belly pan this year too and have been really happy with it. It really helps with making things neat.

Fantastic job, Alex. Way cleaner than years past.

Watch your voltage drop. It looks like you're feeding your Talons with 12 AWG wire with about 5 feet over both the + and - wires. At 130 amps (a CIM at stall), you'll lose about 2 volts. If you switch to 10 AWG and take off a foot of wire between the + and - wires, you'll only lose 1 volt at 130 amps.
Don't mount your radio next to your converter either. That converter can put out a fair amount of noise.

Thanks Nick. ;)

I'll keep my eye on that stuff. Thank you!

The neat wiring on the belly pan makes the whole robot look 10 times better.
