Re: Feedback Thread: Robot Control System

Power Distribution board does not seem to provide adequate overcurrent protection for the connections for the cRIO, camera, and robot radio (ports J24, J25, and J26). I didn't really think about this until team 1764 showed me the melted mass of wire and plastic that used to be their camera power cable at the KC regional this year. They appeared to have been using an appropriately sized cable wired to the correct terminal. I don't have all the details as to what went wrong, but it left an impression.
