Re: wire channeling system

here's a fun way to channel wires.

Take a section of PVC pipe from last year's tetra and drill holes about 2" apart for the length of the pipe. Now, cut the pipe in half for the length of the pipe section thuis creating one "bottom half" with the side holes and one "top" half.

Bolt the "bottom-half" to your robot chassis and run wires, having them poke out of the side drilled holes as needed to rout to/from the components. When done, tie-wrap on the top half of the pipe tube.
