Re: pic: It's so dense every wire has so much going on

One of the more efficient modular electronics packages I've seen - this might make me rethink using them. When my teams have done them in the past, they've added far too much weight to be worth it.

One small suggestion - it might be worth adding a fan or two to make sure you're getting enough air circulation to keep the motor controllers cool. Assuming you're using the newer, passively cooled models, this isn't as much of an issue as it once was, but it's still recommended to make sure there's enough air flow for the convective cooling to work.
