Re: Naming Conventions

The conventions for naming need to make sense for your programmers, your controls team, and your pit crew. Our labels have ranged from the ridiculous (a motor named "Tickle") to the sublime (resistor color code tape on every port, controller, and actuator associated with a degree of freedom, with no text at all added by the team). In each case, the same label was noted within the software (in comments), in the controls build docs, and in the pit crew maintenance docs.
