Re: 2005 electrical diagram

Its basically the same as last year (keep in mind I'm of mechanical origin, so I may be wrong). This is my 4th year doing this and from what I've read the only major changes are the new camera sensor bundle with its own servo outputs for tilt/pan and the like, and a new "smart" breaker panel. there is a spot on the robot interface for the camera sensors it looks like, there is a new set of 4 pins labeled as the ttl serial port to use with an adapter to connect he calera, and the smart breaker panel connects via db9 serial cable into the programing port of the RI to feed data back to the dashboard about which breakers are tripping, or have tripped. I'm not sure of any other changes, but I don't think there are many besides the ones above. Check out IFI's website, they have a pretty nice overview of this years electrical system.

Good Luck Teams!
