Brand New Electrical People Make this
Hello I am from 2869,
Basically last year our electrical guy graduated and when on to M.I.T. We were all very happy for him but it meant we had only one electrical person. The issue is she does not have much free time and only came once maybe twice a week for a few hours. SO me and My friend who's dad is an electrician decided to learn. I had no experience and he had a little but no FRC experience. Basically we learned everything from online in one day. Neither of our mentors know electrical so we were really on our own. So I proudly present what we did. We still have to shorten the Network cable and connect the light and two cameras but that's for final robot assembly. All constructive criticism will be taken but I am still really proud. http://postimg.org/image/u8divpdq7/ (Not Sure If the Picture Posting Worked) |

It looks nice: its neater than ours and I've been doing ours for three years. The one comment I have is that you need to make sure that your main breaker is easily accessible when you mount your board on the robot.

I'd say y'all did pretty good from the looks of it! Just make sure that the main breaker is always easily accessible from the outside of the bot!

Looks good!
I have a few suggestions. Please make sure you insulate the copper terminals coming from the main breaker. You don't want an errant falling tool to short out your nice control board! Also, make sure the two fuses for your RoboRIO and VRM are seated fully (you shouldn't be able to see any metal on them. You don't want them bouncing out and shutting down your robot in the middle of the match. Also, forgive me for not being able to see (the picture is just a bit too small to tell) but where is your radio plugged into? I see wires coming out of the 5v 2a port of the voltage regulator module, but they don't seem to match the colors on the radio plug. If it's crimped somewhere in between, ignore this one and carry on! Other than that, it looks good! |

Another thing I noticed, is that you might want to change out the connectors on the breaker to crimp ones. The ones you are using are legal, but they have a tendency to vibrate loose over time.
