Competition can be stressful, especially when you have to look and make sure every device and wire on your robot is as it should be. So here are some tips for the electrical pit!  

Be sure that you know your robot! If you were chosen for the pit crew, you probably know a bit about your robot. This means that if asked by a judge, alliance member, or even just a visitor, you should be able to answer any question about you...

Molex is the brand of crimps that we use in ensuring connection between 22 gauge wires. This has been a challenge for some of our electrical students to mastering it is important for our robots power and CANbus. The first step in crimping these includes st...

Troubleshooting Whenever facing unknown problems at comp, the first thing to do is check the match logs and replay them in AdvantageScope. This will likely reveal the nature of the issue you face, whether it be excessive CPU usage or driver error. When y...

Overview There are a couple of steps involved with setting up your bot's motors, and this page will cover these steps. Updating ID and Name Updating the ID and name of motors contributes functionally to address the motors in code and organizationally to und...

It's important to make sure the correct code is deployed to the robot before demos to ensure there are no unwanted bugs (secret features) that could jeopardize the quality of the demo. This page will guide you through selecting and deploying the correct branch...

Being able to operate the driver station (DS) is necessary to operate the robot. This will guide you through the things you need to know when using the DS at demos. This is the operation tab. Selecting different modes on the menu at 1 will allow you to swit...

Power Transmission Basics A Power Transmission, for the most part, allows rotational motion to be altered and moved around a mechanism. This allows for a mechanism to be far away from a motor and have more speed or torque than the motor outputs. Think about a...

Electrical CAD is a new idea that we wish to implement in future seasons. This past season we struggled with aligning the ideas of our design team with our electrical sub team which ultimately led to interfering issues. Electrical CAD specifically is used fo...

Plot (pluh): One of the greatest tools that will aid you in your tuning escapades is the Phoenix Tuner plot. The reason this is so useful is that it shows you how much your mechanism is off (in terms of position and velocity) in an intuitive manner. Read thr...
