Robot Troubleshooting Manual

[dmelcer9]

Like many teams, my robotics team occasionally gives demos and presentations. However, like many teams, our robot occasionally has problems. This becomes an issue when someone who can troubleshoot the problem isn't present at the demo.

To combat this, earlier today I started a Robot Troubleshooting Manual. The idea is that we can print a copy and take it to all of our events in case the robot runs into trouble. Additionally, the manual will be as generic as possible, so it can apply to different robots in different years (and different teams for that matter). Since it's not right to keep something like this private, I'm sharing it with the rest of CD. The manual is still in early "beta", but the link will automatically update with the newest version.

I'm completely open to suggestions and additions (which is also part of why I'm posting it here). Note that some of the internal links won't work on the web preview version of the document (the document is typeset with LaTeX), but the links will work in the PDF version (if you click the "PDF" link in the titlebar, it will generate a PDF version and download it).

Here is the link (Document version 0.2.1 at time of writing, though it will surely change): https://www.overleaf.com/read/jhgsmkkvthgx

Note that the section with the different electrical components will also have some more information below the picture in a later version. The section layout isn't finalized, though I'm pretty happy with how the Controls section looks so far (I haven't started Mechanical yet).
