Electrical Team

The electrical team is one of the key teams in ensuring that the team as a whole has a functional robot for competitions. Specifically, the team is dedicated to wiring, powering, connecting, and placing the various electrical and electronic systems that make the robot a robot. A good electrical team keeps the robot running and responding quickly, efficiently, and safely.

Because of the importance of the electrical team, it is crucial that its members have good resources to work with. Therefore, there is a small but expanding section of technical information and guides for members to use on this website.
