Improving the Efficiency of Power Circuits in FRC Robots

Sure thing. I think we have some 12awg leftovers from load testing terminals.

Crimped vs Soldered and Crimped Wire Terminals

Tonight 95 tested crimped vs crimped and soldered wire terminals. Preparation: We cut 14awg APP and ring terminal leads off of old CIM motors from ~2015-2019 that we haven’t recycled yet. We divided the population into crimp only (black) and terminals we would solder (red). This ensures each sample has a mate in the other population that was crimped by the same person and the same tool. The spread of motors means that we are looking at terminations made by numerous students with different trai…
