The Electrical team is responsible for wiring and powering the robot, ensuring all components work together smoothly. They handle the distribution of electricity from the battery to motors, sensors, and control systems, ensuring each part of the robot has the necessary power to operate efficiently. Every connection they make plays a vital role in bringing the robot to life.
The team designs and installs circuits, wiring, and power systems that control the robot’s movements and functions. They integrate components like speed controllers, motor drivers, and sensors, allowing the robot to perform complex tasks both autonomously and under driver control. By carefully managing the robot’s electrical layout, they ensure a safe and organized system that powers the robot effectively during competition.
In close collaboration with the Programming, Mechanical, and CAD teams, the Electrical team ensures that the robot’s systems are fully integrated. They troubleshoot electrical issues, optimize connections, and make adjustments as needed to improve performance. Their work is critical to the robot’s reliability, helping to maintain peak performance during high-pressure competition scenarios.
