Looks are deceiving!! Trust me I'm a senior who has lead electronics for 3 out of my four years, and just because it looks like everything is running fine, if something heats up or reaches a stress point it could mess up all of your electronics. I had a mishap yesterday and blew out a terminal in the power distribution board because a limit switch broke and caused the motor to bind. I changed out the entire board, talon, motor, connectors, and Pwm. You are better off making a plan mentally and on paper on what you must do as soon as you get to competition, plus 95% of teams will be willing to assist you! Keep your head up, and good luck.
