Re: "The Little Things" - Helpful hints for all

Our Electrical team did a great job with their setup. However, since we had a very compact and low cog robot that can climb to the third rung and that can shoot frisbees to the high goal, our electrical board was scrunched inside the worst possible places! However, this was just a design flaw. Also, VELCRO! VELCRO is a friend!. We velcro'd many things, inclugind the bridge and the drivers. Mostly every electrical equipment except the crio and the ds. The velcro allowed us the move the electrical part to access another part. We could simply move the bridge to get full access to the shooter board. Also, our robot was quite modular. We could completely remove the shooter by unfastening a couple of bolts!
