CV Robotics Team 955 Electrical Team Certification Jamie Moore 2013
Why do we need a certification? • Many students are new to electrical work and need some help getting started • Provides a standard way of doing things • Wiring failures are a leading cause of dead robots and lost matches!
Certification process • Attend training session • Study supplied materials • Take written exam • Interview with electrical mentor and demonstrate proper wiring technique • Receive cool skill badge upon successful completion!
Certification goals Be able to • Identify and describe the main electrical components used on the robot • Read and follow an electrical diagram • Properly wire components for safe, reliable operation

Wiring 101 • Use the correct wire gauge for the load • Determine the routing path prior to measuring and cutting the wire to length plus some extra • Crimp and mount the wire on the component side first, using a lock washer • Route the wire back to the Power Distribution Board using tie-downs along the way • Cut the wire to the final length • Crimp a ferrule on the end of the wire and insert it into the appropriate Wago connector
Selecting the correct wire gauge • Refer to FRC rules for wire gauge and color • Only three gauges typically needed • 6 gauge for up to 100 Amps • Battery connections • Main circuit breaker • 12 gauge for up to 40 Amps • Motor controller • Spike relay • 18 gauge for up to 20 Amps • Everything else (except PWM cables)
Wire routing examples Ad hoc Planned Example pictures taken from Team 2338 cable management guide
Crimping for success • Use the right tool for the job • Match the connector size to the wire gauge • Strip off the correct length of insulation • Crimp connector with ratcheting crimp tool • Test the crimp for mechanical strength • Test the crimp for electrical resistance
Crimping tools Self adjusting crimper for wire ferrules Ratcheting crimper for insulated connectors
Wire strippers Used for medium/large gauge wire Used for small gauge wire
Measuring crimp resistance Use Ohms Law to calculate the resistance of a crimped connection Apply 5 - 10 amps through the wire Measure the voltage across the crimp Use V / I to calculate the resistance Ohms Law Formula Wheel
