Re: Things generally forgotten before ship.

Don't forget to install the Robot Signal Light.

Insulate all exposed electrical connections on the robot with electrical tape. Make sure the 6 AWG leads to your robot battery terminals are connected securely and thoroughly insulated.

Make sure both your pneumatics manual dump valve (if equipped) and 120A circuit breaker are easily accessible and visible. Label their locations if possible.

ROBOT GRAPHICS - many teams in the past have come to us in our pit to use our printer and print out 4" high, 1" stroke minimum team numbers, print out team sponsors, the school name, etc. to comply with robot "labeling" rules during inspection. Don't wait until the competition to create and install your graphics. Consider putting your team numbers on your bumpers, making sure they meet the minimum size requirements.
