This. Communication is the biggest piece of advice from me. The design team will change the room given for electronics on the robot frequently during build season, so communicate with them and adjust/keep up on those changes. Don't make changes to the electronic system or start working on it without the approval or agreement of the design team otherwise your work will be wasted.

While we are all in a hurry near the end of build season, take your time while wiring... it pays off when your team doesn't encounter shorts, bad crimps, etc. that hinder your robot performance later on.
