Thanks for posting about your Wire Foot method of analyzing electrical system losses, Al. I think you have mentioned it a few times previously on these boards.
Maybe you have already posted this elsewhere, but if not it would be very helpful if you provide a list of WF values associated with typical FRC electrical system components, and some more examples of how your method can be used by FRC teams planning their electrical layouts. Is this already a CD White Paper?

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
