Re: pic: a control box

Sorry i couldn't post back quicker I was at the Great Lakes Regional. My name is rufu5 and I am a Sophmore in HighSchool and the Electrical team leader for team 447. We used SP50 battery connectors (just like the ones for the battery, since they can handle 50amps) to quick-disconnect all of our motors, and then we used 25pin d-ring connectors for all of our 20awg and up stuff like gyro sensors, hall-effect sensors, ect. This box can be completly dissconected and isolated from the robot for very easy troubleshooting (which i had to do at Great Lakes with help from team 45 the TechnoKats THANK YOU!!), so that is very handy. I also put in neon and LED fans for cooling but the judges made us turn off our neon because the said "they overpowered the team color lights."
If you have any questions about the box just keep posting, i will try to be online more often lol.
