Robot Electrical Schematic
 

I heard somewhere that we need to make a schematic diagram for the electronics on our robot. Is this true? Will FIRST want to see a schematic diagram of our robot during inspection?
Thanks.

I heard FIRST is really cracking down this year. They want to see, in the pits when they inspect you, your price lists, electrical schematic, and a pneumatic schematic.

Price list, yes. Electric and pneumatic schematics? I haven't heard anything about that. Where did you get this information from?

We are making an electrical schematic because our although very neat, is hard to see on the robot. Most of our electronics are on the second deck of our three level chassis. And yes we go under the bar. Space crunch!!!

There has been no mention by FIRST about having to have an electrical and/or pneumatic schematic for inspection. The inspectors would probably love to see one, but unless something was mentioned on the official FIRST forum, there is no rule that says you must do this.

Rgr that. I'm not going to make a diagram at all.
