Re: pic: 125's Electronics Tower of Terror!
ahhhs very nice looking pwm wiring, had a lil trouble myself. u have 6 victors near each other but each of them only have seemly less than inch of cooling clearence from the plastic thats not good. and your fuses seem kinda hard to get tooo. will your radio go on top tooo to make it completely self contained?
Very Impressive Looking!! |

The breaker block is in there pretty well. As long as you can see it though, the inspectors shouldn't have any trouble. Since the whole thing is on polycarb(?), I suspect that you can see all the breakers well enough. Excellent wiring job, one of the nicest I've seen. I like the use of white wire as positive, red is soooo over done. -Andy A. |

I wish I had that much space for my electrical board... I was alotted a 7.5" by 34" area. somehow I managed to make it work. I'll post some pics of it later.

Looks great! But, how much does it weigh?

Umm, is that tape?
Adhesive tape is illegal... I'd go with some more holes in the board and some zip ties. |

As of right now we are well within our weight allowances. Therefore, we'd prefer to keep the structural integrity before we go blowing holes in it just so that we can say we took 6 ounces out of it. Just an engineering decision ;) |

If that stuff isn't tape, what is it and what is it's purpose? I am just a rookie, after all. |

EDIT: One also appears in Emily's picture in front of the SPIKE on the first tier. |

Re: pic: 125's Electronics Tower of Terror!
my electrical group had a similiar panel idea for our electrical box, but we were afraid we would have problems accessing everything. SO we thought of pullable panels, but then we'd have to deal with fuss over moving wires. from the looks of yours, everything seems dandy.

How well protected will all that be once its on your robot?
Also it seems like some of those things are hard to remove...how easy do those speed controllers come out in the event of replacing? |

The levels of the tower are adjustable, and each level is at least 3.5" apart, so it won't be incredibly difficult to replace breakers, Spikes or Victors. It certainly won't be easy or fast, but it will still be manageable. |
