Re: Another electical setup idea from my team fo 08...

Well guys, I am liking this one a lot. The only thing missing is the terminal block for power distro and the dreaded orange light. I am guessing (and I mean guessing, I will find out when you do!) that the block will be back this year. I think that can be easily accomodated with a rotation of the small fuse panel and the large fuse panel. A little move and voila! you have space for the terminal block. Please note that this design really minimizes wire runs by keeping everything close together and centrally located for the fuse panels. Visualize the wire savings if all the components had the power input terminals on the top side of this design. It is almost an inspector's heaven as everything is open and in view. Even the Spike for the compressor is right at the compressor. Congratulations on a design that responds to robot needs, replacement worries and inspector desires.
