 Pro safety tip: put a string through coil springs that is tied off securely on the robot frame. This will help prevent the spring from jumping out and killing an inspector if it snaps. - Ninja_Bait [more] |

Re: Fan Power
The simplest solution is to run the fans from a single circuit breaker on the power distro board. They will turn on when the robot is turned on. The electrical rules require a #18 wire be connected to the PD but you may buss several fans together and then tie them to the #18. Insulation is required on the exposed wiring, the use of heatshrink tubing is highly recommended.
Using a Spike to control fans under software control is an acceptable option as well. |
