Re: Need help with Wiring
The answer is: it depends. Read the sections in the rules to found out the legal requirements. To save some time, this is the breakdown:
Main power distro (battery to main breaker, main breaker to distro block, distro block to circuit breaker blocks): 6AWG or larger
Circuits powered by 40A breakers: 12AWG or larger (my team prefers to use 10AWG on our robots)
Circuits powered by a 30A breaker: 14AWG or larger
Circuits powered by a 20A breaker: 18AWG or larger
Pneumatic solenoid valves: 24AWG or larger
