Spec and purchase wire for changes to the electrical system #21

Closed mkoval closed 12 years ago

This requires preliminary knowledge about the chassis modifications and a detailed understanding of the robot's power consumption. Wire should be the highest gauge that can handle the peak current times a safety factor. We should keep the different types of wire minimal to reduce costs (e.g. one gauge for 12 V, one gauge for 24 V, and one gauge for the battery leads.

Last year we used the following gauges:

In addition to the wire, we will also need spade crimp terminals for each gauge. These are used to connect the wires to the power distribution bars.
