Re: Beginner Electrical

I would make sure to take a peek at the power distribution diagram and the data connectivity daigram.

It is where i started, but the best way is to have someone there to help guide you through what is going on.

The diagrams probably will look complicated to you at first (they were to me) but if you stare at it for a minute you can figure out that all it is is following lines which represents wires. If you dont have anyone to help you, then just make sure you read up on all the rules of wiring the bot. These will be released at kickoff. The main thing is to make sure that you have everything wired correctly and using the right gauges of wires.

Remember, if you cant figure something out then just ask on CD and you will probably get an answer pretty fast.
