This is a inv drawing of a 1/2 done board. This is one of two boards that we will have on are robot.

Re: Excellence in wiring - post your pics
 

What wiring do you guys actually use? Do you use the kit wiring, or something else? What would you reccomend? I hear there is some really nice flexible low resistance stuff out there...

Re: Excellence in wiring - post your pics
 

Excellence in wiring maybe, but safety nope.

I'm curious, what's that box next to the RC?

Re: Excellence in wiring - post your pics
 

That picture was actually from the 2005 build season, but that box was our "autonomous box" that we used to select what autonomous mode we wanted to use.

Heres a discussion about it along with a better picture...

Nice! We consider imitation the sincerest form of flattery.

Last year the Saturday before ship our mechanical arm broke and needed more support, since the electrical panel was right under it the support for it would have gone right through the power distribution panel. This said the whole panel which had been wired and organized was split in two and re-wired in less then 24 hours for a mini regional which our school hosts.

Hopefully this year by not wiring it before all the mechanical is done this problem will be avoided. Of course there will be something else that will pop up, but we can only plan for so much.

We've gone with a similar design this year. Having only 16x10x6 (L x W x H) to work with, and not really much room to easily service anything of it on the robot, this solves a lot of problems.

Re: Excellence in wiring - post your pics
 

What is the plan for dealing with the PWM's? We are going with the same basic design with a few modifications to make it better. The big thing is we only have 10"x16"x6" This year which is a bit smaller.

This is Cyber Blue 234's newly named Fiesta electronics board. Can't you tell it was designed by 4 girls? :yikes:

Re: Excellence in wiring - post your pics
 

:D Just thought I'd post our favorite part of the board. teeheehee ;)

Re: Excellence in wiring - post your pics
 

heres ours... Team 612.

WE decided to use double side board because of the actual design. We planned about using a box or something like that, but it was not matching up with the design would've been harder to install. We are planning to mount it on the side and protect it with lex-an or plexus glass. So everyone out there.....try not to crash into out electrical board....hahaha...

We win.
Team 1093's drawer board. It slides in and out on drawer rollers and connects and disconnects itself. Good for easy access to electronics.
