Re: Sidecar cable length

Due to the nature of our robot's deisgn, we' are putting 4 Victors in one spot, and 9 in another. We can fit both sidecars near the cRIO, but we're still debating what's cleaner; running 9 PWMs along with some sensors down to the sidecar, or just bring a sidecar up and run the sidecar's signal.

It's not great, it's not pretty, but our robot this year is trying to fit 30 lbs of stuff in a 5 lb bag...

5 feet is a bit of an exaggeration on my part as well, it'd probably be more likely closer to 2.5-3ft, I just wanted to make sure.
