Absolutely gorgeous. I supposed I'm biased, though

Re: The Electrical Board for Team 2177

Beautiful layout. Very serviceable.
Are the wires labeled, especially the PWMs? Also label the victors, and note which breaker goes to where.

And what's that board on the lower left for? (I am thinking I should recognize it, but I just don't know what it's for...)

Yes, for the most part it does. All the wires are bundled nicely so it's pretty well organized.

All PWM cables, Victors, and Spikes are labeled so we know exactly what each one controls and where it is going.

The item on the lower left is a custom circuit board that we made for last years robot. It had LEDs that indicated the charge of the battery and then also had LEDs representing all the different circuit breakers to indicate which ones have popped. This isn’t the same circuit board that we are going to use this year, we are making a new and different one; we just put the old one on there to plan out the board.

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

Re: The Electrical Board for Team 2177

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!!!!!!!!!

Re: The Electrical Board for Team 2177

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?

Pavan.
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.

Re: The Electrical Board for Team 2177

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)
