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

We train Robot Inspectors to help you troubleshoot as do the FTAs and other volunteers. Meet us halfway and make it easy for us to help you. If we can see indicators of trouble while you are driving or just sitting, we may be able to focus on what conditions may be causing problems. We want you to play in every match and we can only help you meet that goal if we can tell what is going on.
Hiding breakers/PDP, radio, RoboRio will not get you to that goal either. BTW, mounting electrical upside down doesn't help either of us. As unlikely as it may seem, breakers do loosen up and fall out, and your drive system will scrape up debris off the floor that will take out important parts of your electrical system.
A guideline for us (WildStang) is this... Can you replace that device between matches on Einstein? That is where your design will be judged, by you.



Taking questions in just three weeks. Get some sleep while you can.
