Re: Brand New Electrical People Make this
Looks good!

I have a few suggestions. Please make sure you insulate the copper terminals coming from the main breaker. You don't want an errant falling tool to short out your nice control board!

Also, make sure the two fuses for your RoboRIO and VRM are seated fully (you shouldn't be able to see any metal on them. You don't want them bouncing out and shutting down your robot in the middle of the match.

Also, forgive me for not being able to see (the picture is just a bit too small to tell) but where is your radio plugged into? I see wires coming out of the 5v 2a port of the voltage regulator module, but they don't seem to match the colors on the radio plug. If it's crimped somewhere in between, ignore this one and carry on!

Other than that, it looks good!
