Quote:
<R40> All active PD Board branch circuits shall be wired with appropriately sized wire:
Application Minimum wire size
40A circuit 12 AWG (2.052mm)
30A circuit 14 AWG (1.628mm)
20A circuit 18 AWG (1.024mm)
between the PD Board and the Analog and/or Solenoid
Breakouts if a common power feed is used
18 AWG (1.024mm)
between the PD Board and the Analog and/or Solenoid
Breakouts if individual power feeds are used
20 AWG (0.8128mm)
between the PD Board and the cRIO-FRC 20 AWG (0.8128mm)
between the PD Board and the radio 20 AWG (0.8128mm)
pneumatic valves 24 AWG (0.5106mm)
The branch circuit may include intermediate elements such as COTS connectors, splices,
COTS flexible/rolling/sliding contacts, and COTS slip rings, as long as the entire electrical
pathway is via appropriately gauged conductors.
Spikes are designed to operate with either a 20A Fuse or 20A Breaker, therefore you would need to use 18 Gauge wire or larger.

I suggest reading section 4 "The Robot" of the Manual before making a another new thread to ask another question.
