Re: Hows your electronics board?
Eric,
I know this sounds bad but we don't make an electronics board. In order to fit everything in with mechanical systems, we will distribute the parts around the robot for best weight distribution and ease of replacement. We do work with a couple of standard rules though.
1) Wiring from battery to connector to main breaker to fuse panel is as short as it can be.
2) Victors are generally placed close to the motor they control when practical.
3) All connections are crimped, then soldered, then heatshrink is applied.
4) Wiring in general takes the shortest path.
5) All wiring, all controls, all motors, and all PWM cables are color coded.
6) All wiring is secured in place.
7) All wiring is inspected by several team members before power is applied in breaker out.
8) Breakers are added to test individual circuits.
