Documentation Standard

As a representative assembly, the Electrical Subteam has decided to use draw.io as the Electrical Standard for the FRC 2026 season, Rebulit.

We will be using this website for our documentation on Electrical Schematics and Layouts.

 

Quick Distinction:

Electrical Schematics (in our terms)

• Component diagrams that depict the connections of ports and the port numbers that they connect to
  • Depicting motors and what PDH port they connect to
  • Showing the flow of the CANchain through the various components
  • Depicting the individual ports of the PDH and their connections

  • 

Electrical Layouts

• Diagram of the robot and the various components connected. This also entails the display of wiring between these components on the robot

  • 

  • Does not include wiring, but you get the point ^

NOTES

When using this template:

• Be sure that you are following FRC Electrical Standards
  
• Be prepared to have your Electrical Schematics reviewed by the team 
• Make sure it is thorough and realistic
• Understand that each section has inputs based on the specificities of robot
