Electronics Level 4 Participant Name FRC Team Wiring

Electronics – Level 4 Participant Name FRC Team #

Wiring Demonstrate how to troubleshoot a non-working electrical component on the robot or a robot subsystem. Demonstrate a complete wiring inspection. Explain the corrective actions needed to pass the electrical inspection at a competition. Demonstrate or teach another participant how to join wires with the team’s standard operating procedures. Create a layout of the components including the breaker, battery, power distribution panel, motors, motor controllers, robot signal light, radio, robo. RIO, voltage regulation module (optional), and pneumatic control module (optional). Optimize the layout to eliminate interference with movement of the robot chassis and robot mechanisms.

Sensors Create a troubleshooting checklist for all sensors installed on the robot or robot subsystem.

Schematics Create a wiring diagram and corresponding wiring chart for the robot.

Motors / Motor Controllers Create a troubleshooting checklist for motor and motor controller electrical connections.

Controls Create a troubleshooting checklist for the control system components specific to a robot.

Power Describe what is happening chemically in a battery during a match and why the voltage of the battery changes during the match. Explain chemical reactions. occurring during repeated recharging of a battery that leads to a truly dead battery Create a data table listing robot/driving behaviors, the voltage and amps used. Use this table to predict voltage and amp hours of battery left after a variety of driving profiles. Explain when and why it might be beneficial to use larger gauge wire that required by FIRST.
