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.

Until you have to fix something.

And therein lies the problem.

I understand the picture is of a practice bot, but if a team showed up to the competition with that wiring, they would quickly drop a few spots on my picklist even if it worked in every match.

Well... let's say that something isn't working. Then, you have to follow the wire all of the way through that jumble to get to the port. It would be severely annoying.

not only that, but would they even get through inspection with that rat nest?

That robot looks so unloved. :(

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.

From past experience I can say that you can make it through inspection with the wires looking like that- even though I am ashamed and sad to admit it

Ours wasn't quite as bad, but we did the same thing after one of the robots at our scrimmage impaled us :ahh:. Programming wasn't happy about the down time though :rolleyes:

It's my job to whine about electrical issues.
