Re: trouble wiring line tracking sensors

The wires coming from the sensors are too small to work reliably in the Power Distribution board's Wago connectors. The easiest solution for a team lacking expertise is probably to use a section of the pale green terminal strips from the Kit of Parts. Screw the brown (power) and blue (ground) wires from the sensor into a couple of terminals. Run properly-sized red (power) and black (ground) wires from the other side of those terminals to the Wago connectors.
