Re: robot light

Try to be a little bit more specific when asking your questions. Makes it a whole lot easier for us!
This answer is assuming your talking about the orange robot signal light required to be on your robot. If so it can be placed anywhere on the robot where it can be clearly seen by the field crew. It gets wired to the 2 prong RSL input on the bottom end of the digital sidecar.
Here is what it looks like. It comes loose in your kamen tote (inside it's little white box of course)


Hope this helps. Good luck!

Check the manual for further instructions on how to properly wire it.

Re: robot light

And for where, anywhere that is visible 3' in front of the robot (though more would be nice). This can be found in <R58>.

Definitely talk to an inspector ASAP tomorrow morning. They will be more than happy to help you find a place that satisfies the rules.

Re: robot light

This would be an appropriate place to interject that teams should bring everything in their KOP box to the regionals they attend. If I had a nickel for everytime a team told me "Yeah I remember that thing. It's back in our shop on the table" I would be almost rich. As the season progresses, the spares parts kit becomes more depleted. In just this season, I have had teams who did not have a pressure relief valve, a vent valve, any of their additional sidecars or Crio modules, the connectors for the wireless and Crio power or any extra motors. BTW, if you can afford it, brings your own spares. A team yesterday who had a badly leaking vent valve found out how hard it is to find one after five o'clock.

Please read what has been written, there is nothing worse than answering a question and having nobody listen to the answer. OK?
