New Controls Components Teardown
 

So, we all got a lot of new toys in the controls system this year, and if the rest of you guys are like some of the members on FRC3005, you really want to know what's going on inside them. Since we ordered a second set, I took the opportunity void some warranties, and crack everything open to get a better view.

I put everything I found in an album to share: http://imgur.com/a/2xqoU

If you notice anything I didn't catch, or items I might be wrong about, please let me know.

Even though these are very robustly built, I performed all this work on an ESD safe workbench at work just to be sure. As I'm sure everyone else has noticed, the new items from Cross the Road Electronics are a significant improvement over previous generations. Omar and his team have done a great job, and I don't foresee any major issues with these components, and look forward to using them more this year.
