Vex Controller with FRC Robot

[Andrew Schuetze]

We haven't finished the voltage regulator work yet that was suggested by another poster and need to tidy up the wiring but our 2005 FRC robot which was later redesigned to shoot tee shirts underwent a two day conversion to a VEX controller after World Champions this year. You can see it throwing out the first pitch in CD-Media. Victor speed controllers wire up directly to the VEX controller but one needs to make a custom PWM cable for the spikes as these have two signal wires and a ground and draw power from the device power supply. (meaning the +12 from the power distribution)

So if you have spikes you will need to need to wire custom versions going from one connection to two. Does this make sense
