Neat & Organised Electric Wiring

[JVN]

Here are some of the boards we're looking at for inspiration in 2005:

258's 2003 board is pretty cool.

Note the way the RC mounts over the Spikes (which require no ventilation)... slick!



Also 968's 2004 board. (That entire robot is a work of ART. So neat, so organized. I wish we could be like this!):

I wish I had more pics of that one.


And... my favorite, Team 71's control board:

You can't really see it in these pictures but...
Basically they're entire control board is mounted on thin lexan. They then suspend this sheet from their robot frame. (As an outside wall of the robot).
I wish I had a good picture of their 2004 board. It makes me feel like our control board is waaaaay overweight...

Though, knowing our luck...
If we tried the Beatty method -- another robot would probably stick their arm through it or something every match.

When I saw the title of this thread the last thing I expected was for one of my robots to be mentioned, much less alongside the likes of the mighty Travis Covington's superior wiring techniques. Thankfully John was just brining up a little trick we used that year, and other teams have done as well. Seriously, Travis’ wiring always drops my jaw. It’s something that we all should aspire to wire like.
