Re: How to wire unrealistically well?
 

Our team worked much harder this year on making our wiring neater and it was well worth it! During week 6 we were able to set aside two meetings for our electrical team to have alone time with the competition base while the mechanical teams worked on the practice robot and competition assemblies. We also took the time during the design stage to come up with a plan for mounting the electronics and had them in our CAD model so we knew they fit.

The general power and signal wires were all neatly tucked away in wire duct and it was the first year we didn't have crimp connector or pwm fail which I can only believe was because our messy wiring in the past left them loose and exposed.

If you look at our robot now it doesn't look very neat because the top layer is the pnuematics that were thrown on the robot at the last second but underneath is a beautiful board. Next year's plan is to focus on making the electrical and pnumatics neater.
