Jeez! everytime i check CD theres always some good advice for free. I can't believe we didn't think of that! That totally makes sense because the components ARE pretty old, so we might have to replace them sometime.
Well, believe it or not... all of those components on that board, the breaker panel, AND the controller ALL fit on that board. I hated that because of all the errors we encountered. So i spaced everything out. I'm aiming to place the controller in a protected environment on the top of the robot's compressor plates that way i can see what its up to, program and access if necessary, and it'll be safe and covered by lexan.
