Re: Power Distribution

The power distribution diagram isn't on IFI's site, it is on FIRST's: http://www2.usfirst.org/2005comp/Dra...STRIBUTION.pdf

roboticsjenkins, the already released documentation is all that you can probably count on for electrical. If you have questions, start a new thread and people will happy to help. Make sure you've looked at teh power distribution diagram, the robot section of the manual (section 5), the guidelines document (http://www2.usfirst.org/2005comp/Man...idelines_C.pdf) and all the spec sheets.

Re: Power Distribution

You mean it's not a good idea to take a motorcycle battery and a drill motor lead in each hand and just hold the leads on the battery, thus showering everyone with sparks?

Re: Power Distribution

OK, I'm not finding some info I'm looking for... where does it state which motors can/must be on the spikes, and which on the victors? The diagram shows some, but not all of the motors. In particular, window motors aren't shown. Is this hidden somewhere else?

Web,
In the Robot Rules, Section 5
"<R78> CIM motors and Fisher-Price motors must be connected to Speed Controllers. They may not be connected to Relay Modules."
The other motors may be connected to spikes but must be fused accordingly...
"<R83> Speed Controllers may be protected by 20A, 30A, or 40A Circuit Breakers. Speed Controllers may power motors or devices of any size.
<R84> SPIKE Relay Modules must be protected with a 20A Circuit Breaker. Multiple devices may be connected to Relay Modules if desired (but only one motor may be connected to each Relay Module)."

Re: Power Distribution

Al,

Thanks for quoting the applicable rules. I had seen the first sentens of R78, but missed the part about "The other motors..."

I think I saw someone post in another thread that the Taigene shouldn't be connected to a spike either.
