What is the point? The point was to see if we could do it... that was all the fun right there. Where else can you stare at wires until you go crosseyed, all the while getting tipsy on solder smoke!

Seriously, though, while building this past year's robot, we were concerned that we may end up drawing too much current and blowing breakers. Since this years challenge was more agressive than years past, we didn't want to end up dead in the middle of a tug-o-war. So, a few students and a few engineers spent way too much time designing the board.... and ended up getting to done about 4 hours before ship. We ended up building a second one for debug purposes after the ship date just to see if the thing even worked
