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?

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)
