Andy, or anyone else for that matter..

Will the location of the F-P/Drill (whatever that smaller motor is) potentially cause an electrical arc between the back leads of the motor and the angle plate behind it??

I'm sure the connector will initially be well insulated and taped up with some electrical tape, but we all know how much beating/wear that gearboxes and the overall robot take during a full competitive FIRST season and beyond..

Worst case scenario of course... Tape comes loose, or frays, and motor terminals arc?? Is it a possibility?

Idk.. I could be wrong. Maybe there WAS a valid reason it took me 3 times to pass an intro to Electrical Applications class.
