Re: Team 1114: Engineering Notebooks
The notebooks contain some specific details we used to program the robot. Such as how controlled the claw and how our auto is/was ran (hot goal).
Also we do specify what type of sensors are used for controlling the robot. Like what we used to control the position of the claw.
Showing a picture of an "electronics board" would be difficult. At least for this year, the electronics weren't designated to a board, theres some of them on the belly pan, some on the back of the super structure of the claw, and in other parts of the robot. We put them where they are accessible and where there is room for them. It's not messy though, we make sure the students learn and understand how to properly wire and organize the wires to keep it all neat. However it's not like we put the Crio in the very front and the side car on the top of the claw. It's organized in a logical way.
Edit: Another thing we do is try to keep the wires for the electrical as short as possible to improve efficiency. The shorter the wire the less resistance there is in it, making the robot more efficient. For example, we kept most of the VEX Pro Victor 888's on the super structure for the claw, close to the drive motors, and close to the claw motors. That way we would be more efficient while driving, moving the claw, and while shooting.
