Well, 1278s season is over, but even though its just hours after our only regional, I'm already thinking of things i can improve on next year.

As the electrical person for our team, I'm thinking of trying and designing a "Pull out" Electrical board. This idea i had after having issues with our RC and having to replace it quickly, and to ease wiring and make for an over all cleaner look.

So heres a few questions that should start me on my design:

1. Does anyone make drawer pulls or slides that don't have backstops or locks at full extension?

2. any suggestions on what i might try and lock it in with? I'm thinking about some form of clasp kinda like whats on tool boxes.

3. if i ran the battery connector into said electrical panel, Would it be FIRST legal to use the 50amp Anderson connector or would i have to go up to the 175 amp Anderson even though the battery has the 50amp version on it?

4. I know i can remote the program and reset switches, but there is no way to remote the lights on the RC or the lights on the victors/spikes correct?

5. We have had MANY problems with the TTL chip and TTL Connection on our RC and camera, Could we use some 4 conductor cable and connectors and mount the TTL chip flat? What about the possibility of directly soldering the wires onto the TTL Chip?

6. We were having some issues with the camera acting very funny in disabled mode and programming (Jittering, tending to go to 0, 0) And i Think it may have been due to noise in the PWM signal lines. is there anyway i can shield the wires better? Twist them around the ground line?

7. Final question, Do they make such a beast as a right angle pwm cable or something less break prone than the current pwm connections? chances are next year we will be running custom pwms, so I'm looking for the best connectors to use.

Thanks for any help!
