CAN¡Sí, se puede!
Evan Hochstein
*facepalm* Should we keep it like this? You have to explain the joke.
TALONSHurt. At least when they scratch you.
VICTORSIts what we are!
SPIKEThis isn’t Spock and they don’t hurt when you poke them.
PRETTY GRAPHS!Now all we need is an effective electrical system… right..?

CUSTOM CIRCUITS
• Teleportation Devices
• Wibbly Wobbly Timey Wimey… Stuff.
• Levitation
• Flux Capacitors
• Warp Drives (FTLs)
• Imagination
A miscellaneous plethora of awesome stuff rendered under the principles of the art of circumlocution.
DIGITAL VS. ANALOG
• If you would like me to explain the difference, just ask!
THE ELECTRICAL CAD
• Altium
• Multisim
• Ulitboard
THE CRIO
• The "Brains"
• Modules
• Digital Sidecar(s)
• 4-slot vs. 8-slot
MODULES

Thank for you replacing this
Evan Hochstein
switch the for and you. I don't really know what was going on there.
OUR ROBOT, THE GAME & THEIR LOVE AFFAIR
ORGANIZATIONAre you ready to be scolded?
BOARD
• Horizontal vs. Vertical
• Left Side vs. Right Side
• Multi-level vs. Single Level
Team 1713
WIRE ORGANIZATION TOOLS• Power Polls
• Tie Downs
• Zip Ties
• Power vs. Signal Separation
• Wiring On/Off the Board
• Coding, and not the kind that makes the robot go
