Re: Things that new members need to know about electronics

I am one of the student co-leads this year for the electrical team. One good thing to do during pre-season is to show them the proper practices with all the tools. Another thing we did was go over the schematics from previous years and then showed them the robots. That helps them understand the electrical system a little better. We also gave a run through of all the parts we use and also let them make a couple of harnesses. Another thing I would suggest is to make them read through last years electrcial rules. That way they get an understanding of what they can do and what they cant. Good luck!
