Re: Electrical Connectors

One of the TechnoKats' best-designed robots in recent memory indeed used a DB25 for sensor connections. That even let us use an extension cable between the control box and the robot a few times when we wanted to test some code while the robot was surrounded by people doing mechanical work.

A couple of blocks of Anderson PowerPole connectors were the disconnect for the motor power wires. If we do that again, we'll make sure the person responsible understands the importance of using the little locking pins between them.
