Re: Power distribution question?
just make sure your controllers can get air circulation or you may have issues there.

Re: Power distribution question?
As with most components, they don't care which way they are mounted. Electrons are not as influenced by gravity when in the presence of battery. The Dlink needs to be mounted up and away from motors and steel so that the radio can handshake with the field. Rules require that the Dlink be visible from the front of the robot by setup crews. The Victors and Jaguars have indicators that you need to see as well as anyone helping you. You really need to consider a lot of other things as well before you really tie yourself into this design. If an inspector can't complete inspection you can't play.

Re: Power distribution question?
Another side note. It is dangerous to charge the battery on its side. so make sure you remove it (which you should be doing anyhwho) before charging it.

Re: Power distribution question?
Bryant,
MK says their batteries can be used in any orientation but should not be charged upside down. I recommend that batteries only be charged upright for a variety of other reasons. |
