Re: pic: How Do You Into Wiring
Looks like a rat came in and made a nest in the wiring. Does it work? if it does, then the wiring doesn't matter much.

And therein lies the problem.

That robot looks so unloved. :(

Re: pic: How Do You Into Wiring
I think our practice robot's wiring is better than the wiring on the 'bot we bagged. Part of that is because the Digital Sidecar had to be swapped out a couple of weeks ago, and all the connections going to it got nicely labeled to make the swap easier.

Looks like our wiring on Sunday at scrimmage... before 8 hours of OCD rewiring Monday and Tuesday.

Re: pic: How Do You Into Wiring
There are a lot of issues with wiring like this, aside from how horrendous it appears.
-Loose wires will stress their terminations as the wires move/vibrate/shift as the robot operates. This can cause terminations to come loose or break. -If anything needs to be worked on inside the robot there is an exponentially larger risk of something getting accidentally unplugged or snagged or *pick something annoying that happens to wiring* -Loose wires are liable to be snagged in a mechanism (like those mecanum wheels just a few inches away) and become shredded. Ever seen a robot self-destruct when a wire/wire bundle gets snagged? It ain't pretty. I get that its a practice bot, but it can serve for wiring practice as well as driving practice. Take some pride in your work! |

Next Fall's rookie project: 1) Reverse engineer the functionality of each servo cable and pneumatic tube connection. 2) re-connect with a new clean and labeled layout.
They'll be ready for anything 2015 throws at ya :D Eric |
Re: pic: How Do You Into Wiring
Is this an Inspector's Test? How many violations can you list in five minutes? No really, I understand this is a practice bot. I would like to remind everyone that visibility is an item in inspections. We have to see what wire size is connected to what breaker size. That is pretty hard from this photo. It is actually hard to see very much of anything.
I would be afraid to put my hand into that mass, for fear something would eat it. Sorry, that was my first impression. |
Re: pic: How Do You Into Wiring
The Funny thing is that you cant even see the victors and spikes through the mess, but to put your minds at ease our real bots, well i would describe its wiring as neater than a librarian's book shelf, so there is no need to worry. But i do like the idea of making next years freshmen rewire this mess so they can start on their understanding of electronics. Thanks!:rolleyes:
