We start by placing all the required components on the board and seeing how they will interact with each other with the wires. Then we mount all the hardware and start running wire. PWM cables always come last, and are the hardest to get right. Next year I believe it will be much easier with the NI control system for the sensors. Our robot with 11 motors next year would only need 11 PWM cables instead of... like... 30 or more. You'll still have to run wires, but they won't be the annoying PWM cables that tend to fall out and cause stuff to stop working.
