Re: Which Terminals?

Brittany,
The rules (per the robot manual) have been relaxed a little this year. You may use SLU 35 terminals ( a smaller version of last year's terminal) or you may use a suitable crimp terminal if you wish. As always, insulate all electrical connections on the robot, particularly the battery and main power distro and main circuit breaker.

<R54> The EX18-12 Battery, the Main 120 Amp Circuit Breaker, and the Circuit Breaker distribution panels
must be connected as shown in the 2006 ( or optionally) as in the 2005 diagrams shown below. The EX18-12
Battery must use the Anderson Connector. The connector must be attached with either the copper SLU-35
lugs provided in the Terminal Supply Bag or appropriate crimp-on lug connectors. The Battery terminals and
the connecting lugs must be insulated with shrink tubing and/or electrical tape
