Tips

Tips:

• Generally, follow your subsystem leader before acting on anything.

• Have someone pull test your connections after you’ve done them, as it will save lots of times later.

• Work closely with the programming and mechanical subteams to make sure that what you’re doing aligns with team goals and mechanisms.

• Follow the safety guidelines mentioned in the section "What is Electrical?"

• Always sanity check.

• Always cross-check with leaders, resources, or mentors if you are stuck or unsure about anything.

• Have a system for batteries whilst in the pits to maximize organization, time, and battery output.
  

• Try and keep wire connections outside of hidden locations and easy to access if needed in a situation.

• Always make sure you have enough crimps, wire, and whatever you need before and/or during the season to prevent a shortage of what can be done.

• Be sure to mount your devices with actual mounts and not zipties if you can. Using zipties can be helpful if used properly.
