pic: laying out the robot

[Al Skierkiewicz]

Fredi,
If you swap the breaker panels and the speed controllers, you can use the motor wiring directly to the Victors and save some wire loss. If you put them in a row, then that will leave some room in the center for the breaker panels with the terminal block at the front and you will essentially eliminate close to 4 wire feet of loss. At 0.1 volt drop per wirefoot at 100 amps you can get a little more out of the drive system. Then you can put the battery in the front to use it as counter weight and wire to the main breaker on the outside of the robot next to the breaker panels. Cool
