Do you mean this?

Or, have I misunderstood the question? In general, the instructions for connecting just about anyhting in the KOP is in the manual or related pages somewhere.

Re: Power Distribution Box-HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Power Distribution Box-HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

what about the texture ... does it have any kind of border or is it a plane , smooth surface

Re: Power Distribution Box-HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

yes, that diagram, but the thing is that idk where the connectors got to everything....it has little lines and all, but were still confused

and what is the KOP manual?

Re: Power Distribution Box-HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

where could i get it .... astroturf ????... lowes???? .. the home depot???
somewhere that is cheap ...

Re: Power Distribution Box-HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

home depot should be fine,

all you need is some cheap regular carpet, and youre good

Re: Power Distribution Box-HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

The carpet should really have its own thread, but...

The carpet spec is not available on the FIRST website (that I could find), but the Q&A said this. A general description would be low-pile industrial carpet, gray color.

And, on the wiring side, the lines represent wires. Connectors should match the connection on the part you are connecting.

Carpet: There is an official specification, but any smooth, flat, thin carpet will be good enough for now.

KOP Manual: I meant The FIRST Competition Manual. If you have not yet seen that, and are not completely familiar with it, you really need to download and read the whole thing before doing anything else. Really. All of it.

One of the documents is the "recommended practices and tips", read that too.
