Seems like an unnecessary waste of money to stick any sort of crimp on the PDP side of the new Talons and Victors (as long as you can package the speed controllers close to the PDP)

Kudos for getting a test-bed up and running quickly! Always a good idea!

Thanks Mike! This is our first of 3 electrical boards and modularity for the components is what we need now. We need our first drive chassis up and running this weekend for some testing. If all goes well they will be transferred to more refined chassis the next week, then the competition chassis and bellypan the following week. We have another untouched set of talons/electronics for the competition bot.

Cost of an anderson powerpole is ~ $1. Cost of students learning how to be competent at crimping and wiring ~ Priceless!!
