Re: FRC robot fan wiring

If you are asking about Victor cooling fans, the manufacturer recommends that they be wired to the power input on the side of the Victor. Any fans you add to the robot other than those for speed controllers need to be wired to a dedicated 20 breaker on the PD. This is turn may be wired to a terminal block to distribute the power to the fans. Only one wire per Wago terminal is allowed and it should be no smaller that #18.
