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.
