Electrical Documentation
Everything you need to know about Electrical Documentation for the upcoming FRC season!

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 ^
