Cool, I'll have to make a note to stop by and see it in person when I'm at the MN regional.

Very nice board indeed. The only concern that our mentor had was that the wires would not be liked by the inspection team. Our team has about half of them like that. WEll get a picture up wehn we get it done but great job!!!!!!!!!

Thats a cool board... I like the custom circuit. Has it proven to be very helpful in the past or is it one of those "just in case it happens we're prepared" kind of deals?

The custom circuit was immensely beneficial to us last year. The voltage indicator was extremely useful in practice and competition. However, we didn’t have any issues with circuit breakers popping, so this year we decided to take that feature out. Our circuit board for this year is going to have 7 LEDs to indicate the voltage of the battery along with a charging circuit for the 7.2v battery.

And today they dropped the board into the robot. (the wood/PVC and strings you see are our prototype for our lift, and will be replaced when the final version is ready to be dropped on)
