Re: Hidden Wires???

Matt,
In most cases an inspector will take a little longer to look over your robot to be sure. Many teams run wires under components, through frame members (tubing), inside wire races and flexible couplings. It should not be a problem under normal circumstances. However, as you are a Michigan team, inspections will be handled as quickly as possible in order to get you into competition. If you can make your layout neat and organized so that the inspector can easily see wire size and where it goes, it will be better for them and you. Michigan volunteers are working hard to insure all robots are inspected and ready to compete. Inspectors will have a tough job at these events.
