Legality of running a capacitor inline with roboRIO power

OK, I have to weigh in here...
If I had a nickel...
If you are browning out there are definite reasons for doing so. I can tell you most teams do not get everything in their primary wiring right the first time. I had more than twenty teams over the weekend with some kind of primary wiring issue. There were improper crimps, loose hardware, loose connection on the main breaker, etc. If you grab any #6 wire and wiggle it. If it moves of the connection moves, you have only found one problem. Keep going. Wire should not move around in a crimped terminal, or a screwed terminal. Hardware should never move, on the main breaker, PDP or battery. Loose means bad which leads to brownout. Sometimes your electrical problem could be a mechanical problem. Just ask if anyone has had issues with transmissions dragging, locking up or skipping.
