Re: Electrical Board or Distributed System?
Our team has always used panels. One thing we used for many years was something we referred to as a "smart door". The panels were hinged and able to fold out of the robot to allow it to be easier to work on.
This past year we used an electrical box that 1405 came up with. RoboRio, PDP, VRM, Talon SRXs, Gyro, Radio, main breaker, and RSL were all inside. The idea behind this was to have everything well protected and compact and allow for easy swap outs in case of electrical failures.
