Re: Electrical Tips for Rookies

1. Make sure all connections are taped so that there is less opportunity for something to short.
2. Its a whole lot easier to use zipties than to rewire a robot due to wires being caught and ripped off.
3. Stay away from Victors, spikes, etc with loctite
4. Keep Victors cool, dont restrict the air flow to them and make sure that the fans are running before the robot is ever driven.
5. Use as short of wires as possible Voltage drop & useless added weight=bad
6. Make sure to use appropriate gauge wire necessary and I recommend having someone print the FIRST diagram of the electrical system on a plotter. That way it is visible while working and everyone can see it. Plus the poster is great for teaching rookies with.
