kstl,
I have no problem with Autocad and use it almost everyday. If you have the time to draw documentation and would use it for teaching assistance, then have at it. We use the color coded tape method to remove a major stumbling block in repair. In the finals when something goes bad, you will not be looking at a schematic. You want to find that something NOW and fix it.
Of all the problems teams have with electrical on robots, improper crimps/wire terminations are the greatest. A poor crimp causes heat and termination failure. A bad termination at the PD or a power supply connector has the potential to bring down the system. If I had a nickel for every 24 volt to Crio connector I have pointed out as a problem, I could buy a nice dinner after an event. If you strip too much wire from the power wiring, cut some off so that you won't have uninsulated wires touching. If you have a whisker sticking out, either cut it off or reterminate the connector until it is right.
