Neat Wires

Jimmy Holmes · #1 28-03-2007, 13:26

I always enjoy seeing a neat wiring job in an electrical control panel.
Someone took great care in laying that wire out.

I only wish we all had more time and space to do the same in our robots.
I have seen some very nice wiring jobs this year and in the past. Maybe there will be an award for just wiring someday.
We always try to do a good job...but Time and space is sometimes against us.

I can't help but wonder how much all those zip ties weigh....

Now that is the neatest wiring layout I have ever seen and ditto on the Zip Ties Question / Comment.

It looks real neat. I wouldnt fancy having to service it though.

Ok... can't help it... robotics kid and all.... Is the picture of that wiring job from a large motor controller? With the large caps, fuses, heat sinked thing (most likely ac triacs)... leads me to think so.

Anybody know what that thing is?

Without seeing a larger picture and more items I cant tell what it is. It appears to be close to either a speed controller or possibly just a motor start controller as the capacitors are hooked to the heat sinked items.

We had a robot inspector at a regional who sounded like he wanted our robot to look like that.

I found a different inspector willing to trace our wiring instead.

Omg. I think our e-team leader's heart just skipped a beat... Not to mention I myself am a fan of zip-ties

That is some nice clean wiring! Here is what we have done with our robot's wiring for the past few years.

Is that mid-build, or are you really just using two small CIMs in the drivetrain?

The other two motors are on the other side which is right below the view of the camera.

Two more CIMs are at the back end of the robot which is not shown in this picture.
