Tips for new 'Head of Electronics'

[robotsarecool]

1) Take your time to do your wiring correctly and be very organized, even though it might take a while, it'll save you in you in the long run.
2)Color coding tape is your friend, it'll save you from tracing wires from one end of the robot to the other.
3)Be very careful of your sensors, I can't tell you how many limit switches we've crushed and how many encoder wires got snapped.
4)Make sure to check all your connections and make sure you tape your anderson connections. There have been quite a few matches where we were rendered partially useless because of a lose connection to a motor controller.
5) Make a checklist for pit crew so that connections are checked between every match.
Also just out of curiosity what sort of training projects will you be doing in the off season as head of electrical? I'm always looking for ideas
