Re: PNTA Team 23 control system

Al - We thought of this while designing the case. If you look in a few of the pictures, you might be able to see two anderson powerpoles coming out of the top of the case - this is intended to link the RSL to the sidecar. You might also notice that in the head on view of the case, there is an odd "window" cut out of the lid just above the handle of the case. The dlink is mounted directly behind this hole, and while running, the lights are highly visible. As for the ease of access to wiring during inspection, we'll have to account for this during the design of the robot. Given the fact that anything might go wrong with any component of the control system, making the internals readily accessible is probably a good idea anyway. Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.
