Re: is my wiring good?

The master switch is for safety when you are handling the robot such as taking it off the pole. I assume the SPDT switch is a big house hold switch that could be easily actuated by mistake, whereas the master on/off switch from the FTC competition is harder to actuated accidentally. So before you handle the minibot or taking it off the pole, you turn the master switch off.

Ultimately what happened is that the head inspector @ the jersey regional said that the switches didn't increase our ability to win the race, so they were legal.
