Easy to swap out electrical controls?

[cbolin]

Hi,
We've experimented with last years electrical components. We have built a box out of lexan and metal framing that contains 100% of all electrical devices with the exception of the wiring to the motors and sensors and the battery. Currently it takes about 5 minutes to change the unit out because of the wires that must be disconnected from the M+ and M- on the speed controllers and relays running to their respective loads.

Has anyone experimented with heavy duty plugs/receptacles (to carry motor current) or edge connectors so that a quick disconnect or two allows the entire control system to be removed in one pull?

We would like to have a complete spare unit. In addition to quick repairs it could allow the programmer to add program changes to the bench unit just before replacing it with the robot unit.

Just a thought...

Regards,
ChuckB
