Re: Legalities Regarding Anderson Powerx and Velcro
Mali,
Are you referring to the PowerPole series of Anderson connectors? If so they are legal. We have used them for just this same application for many years. They are best used with the correct crimper. West Mountain Radio sells the crimper we use. The 30 and 45 amp contacts are appropriate. Please insure that the contacts are fully seated in the housing before power is turned on. The contact should click when inserted and should not pull out.
Velcro is acceptable for mounting controllers. A few cautions though. The Jaguar has some vents on the bottom side, and these should not be covered to allow proper airflow. Sufficient velcro should be used to prevent the controllers from becoming dislodged in a severe hit with another robot of the field.
