You may want to move the solenoids and the Spike a bit so you can move the Digital Sidecar away from the CRio to allow space for PWM cables.

You may want to mount your pressure gauge in a small, protected space in your upper structure that makes it visible.

You may also want to add a voltmeter next to the pressure gauge. We found it handy for knowing when to stop the practice and change batteries.

I may have to grab a couple of those meters for myself. let alone the robot(s).

Many of the items included in this render will not be located where they are due to the new RoboRio controller and speed controllers. No DSC's with the new controller, so that will give a bit of extra room.

Additionally, the new game will dictate changes that can't be anticipate at this point in time.
