Re: Our Power Distribution

Looks really good.

You'll also need to attach your PWM cables to the victors and spikes. I usually protect the positive connection to the ATC panel with some electrical tape, since it's so very close to a negative terminal and a loose screw (or finger) could easily cause a short there when it's energized.

I hope you've selected a mounting location that leaves enough clearance to get the serial cables in and out since those ports seem to be right at the edge of the lexan. IFI recommended last year that the radio modem be mounted vertically, and I see it's not on your board, so I assume you've chosen a suitable location elsewhere on your robot.
