Re: pic: Team #4539 Wired up and ready to go

To add to the above comment: Add a conspicuous label in front of the Clippard tank pointing to the electrical main breaker. A volunteer looking to shut off the robot when it is on fire will appreciate that.

The terminals for the pressure cut-off switch will need to be exposed for inspection: They must slightly overpressure the system to verify your pressure relief valve is operating. (You need to adjust it if you have not done so).

Bundle and support wires as much as possible to ensure their weight is not tending to disconnect them. The robot will see a fair amount of vibration and shock. I'm mostly thinking of the PWM cables at the RoboRIO and the smaller wires from RoboRio to other components. The big wires off the PDP are fine.

At the far right be sure those sprockets have something to prevent inadvertent pinch points. Even very thin lexan will do.

Your inspectors would appreciate all the ends of the zip ties being cut flush with the locking head. Otherwise they can cut an inspectors hands, and a bleeding inspector is not a happy inspector. (Same for the student reaching in there to fix something...)

OUTSTANDING job on all the rest, the care and effort is really obvious!
