A Tip for the PDB

Here is a tip that I believe most teams would enjoy when it comes to the power distribution block.

3. Crimping and soldering on the end of each power wire an Anderson Power Pole pin.
4. Sanding and bending the pin slightly to become a hook that will fit flat into the PDB.
5. Tightening down the nice new capheads on top of the modified APP pins.
6. Locktite the screws from the side of each PDB section.
7. Tape the part of the APP connector that sticks out from the PDB

This process took an entire fixit window to complete, and although it was tedious and slow, we had not a single problem at the championship, after constantly fixing it at both of our regionals.
