This is one of those things for which you have a hard time remembering the source. I'm pretty sure it is mentioned in a presentation given by Al Sk. for the 2009 conference session. 2009CON_Robot_Electrical_Design_Skierkiewicz

I highly recommend the hour spent watching this recording of him talking about the heart and life blood of FRC robots. I suppose you're going to ask where to get it. Still scratching my head on that one. Google Al's name, exclude chief delphi, should get you close to it online.
