Yaaaa.....this wiring rocks

Just about the best wiring. We had a few constraints put on us. First, there was a revolving turret that knocked around about thirty degrees. Second, there was nothing except for a small triangular piece on one side to mount to, the space between two braces. Prepare to be amazed. Oh yeah, and we had a bit of trouble getting the camera into the right place

Re: Yaaaa.....this wiring rocks

mmmmmm I'm going to reserve comment until I see it organized. I'm curious however, why are their loose zip ties randomly attached to wires?

its like a piece of art. I see it as representing the true inner feelings and thoughts of the average FIRSTer, your way of expressing the pressures and tribulations of these four weeks we call "build".

It is basically as organized as it will get. There is not physically room to place any physical seperators, and the Victors are all far to close. Therefore, the main strategy for our wiring team was to use zip ties to try and compress all of the wires. We zipped the lowest level to the board, and then zipped subsequent levels to the level underneath it. A bit unorthodox, but it did the trick.

If I were an inspector I would not pass that for any amount of bribery.
