heh, you should see our room. Mechanical and electrical both share the same space... It is true that we (mechanical team) are on the floor fabricating more and electrical barely does anything (bunch of slacker (yes, singular)) but still. Yeah, I wouldnt go there guys .

p.s. is that lexan or plexiglass?

Ahhh, that looks a lot like our board. Including the standoffs under the RC. Why are yours so high?

We put the gold breaker fuse box thingy (sorry for lack of correct term, they're all Lego's to me ) underneath the RC


Vivek: It's 1/4 inch Lexan. Our 1/8 inch polycarb was too thin

I do both mechanical AND electrical! Ohhh! Guess that makes me about as average as dirt...

We're doing a vertical board this year. The pneumatics will be on the lower level, next to motors, gear boxes, chain, etc. It'll be neater than last year's, where everything was crammed into a small, compact space less than 12" tall, sharing space with pneumatics and drive train.

And to Jaybee1405, it's a 40-Amp Fuse Panel.

Thanks for that, 40-Amp Fuse Panel. Ok so now my electrical vocab includes:
40 amp fuse panel
RC (thing with blinky lights!)
switch (which I won't forget to push this year and rob won't have to yell at me again at the ruckus)
fans! (ok fine I know they're victors)
spike lee's
big lego block


How am I doing?

Shutup Kevin, you're just jealous because you can't make an Ackermann steering unit.
Is that your ratio to how dirty things are???
Haha.

then it would be
mechanical > dirt > human player > programming > electrical.

after gojo, everything (except for dirt) would be about equal

Re: pic: Electrical team is so messy

So I guess I would be between mechanical and programming, more on the programming side, because I am the electrical team, or about 15/16th of it, and the programming team, and do mechanical jobs to. So I guess I'm just heinz 57.

But electrical still is the best of all teams

We'll need to make sure that vertical board is securely mounted to the tower. This may be more difficult than you anticipate, given that it'll need to stand off by at least 2 inches and only attach on the sides (the backs of the tower box tubing are where the rollers ride). I guess we can work it out somehow.

What, you mean you didn't like having to stick your hand down into the guts of the robot and fish around to find anything in the electronics?

On a side note, I read this thread last night and remember seeing your post, but I was so out of it at the time that I didn't even realize that it was you, or that it was our robot being discussed... :-/
