Re: Building a second robot - electronics?

My team has never had 2 robots (comp. and practice) that look 100% alike, but they have the same manipulators on them to practice code. Because of not being the most funded team, we pretty much only had Jaguars on he practice robot and SRXs on the Comp robot. I believe we put one Talon SRX on the practice to test sensors. We are fortunate enough to have 2 roboRios (mainly to have a backup), and 2 of a couple other things, but those get removed from the practice robot to get taken to events. If you label everything, it shouldn't be too hard to move all the electronics over, but labeling is the key or you may mis-wire the robot, or spend too much time tracing wires.
