Re: what is the size of the electronics

Pat,
There is a lot to be said for distributing electrical components to minimize the length of wire in high current branches. Often teams will attempt to make things look really nice while causing excessive wire resistance to compromise the operation particularly in auto mode. The addition of 4 feet of #10 wire to one side of your drive can lose you almost 0.5 volts at near stall delivered to your CIM or FP motor. Sometimes it is unavoidable but too often teams forget that pretty isn't always good.
