Im having an issue hooking he camera up to the power distribution board. On the diagram for power distribution, it shows the camera being hooked up to the 5 V connection on the end of the power distributer. The only problem is that I cannot find the correct connector for this 5 V slot. Originally, I thought that it was a pressure-based slot, but before i got the chance to mess with it, my mentor stopped me and said that he thought there was a connector for it. We have a bunch of connectors that seem to almost fit it (I think they're the 12 V connectors) but just dont seem to. they're off by just so little :(

Please help. I want to get this camera working ASAP.

The 5v connection on the Power Distribution Panel is actually a built-in gray Wago connector.
There isn't a separate connector for that one.

Just use your small screwdriver on it as you would with one of the other Wagos.

You can see an example in this photo (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=8441&d=1264891221).

Please don't feel bad, I spent an hour looking for the connector for that spot a couple months ago when we wanted to hook up the camera on last year's robot. I was sure it was another plug-in. I can attest, that after getting on my hands and knees and sticking my head inside the robot until I could see it, I decided it was indeed an onboard connector and no plug was needed...

At least I didn't have to order a new connector because we lost it!
