Re: Can't get PWM wires to attach on the side car

I believe they just gave us crappy PWM cables this year. We're having issues plugging them into the same PWM ports. Use older cables if you can.

Also, there is sometimes is a notch of plastic on the side. You can get some side cutters and snip that little piece off to help it fit into other spots on the robot. The PWM ports don't have the issue with the notch, but just about every other PWM plug on the robot does. I believe they're a part of the Fubuta PWM connector.

Al,
The issue is that the pins are too 'fat' to fit into the provided female end of the PWM cables this year. We got one of them on, only to find out that the plastic case split around the PWM cable. I don't know if it's an issue with all the PWM cables supplied, or just some. We've experienced the issue and decided to reuse ones from last year without any issue. We can use those cables for our Vex robots that the kids build around the classroom.
