Power: Mech Items #18
Description
Mechanical Research Required for Task 3
- Read competition manual related to E-stop. Outline criteria from a rules and operating perspective
- Mechanical would like cable sizes from us sooner rather than later. Based on the motors and the total current we expect from the battery, look into what cable sizes and what types of custom cables we might want to use to deliver our 48VDC power.
- Mech wants us to keep a running list of the components we pick. If we are not set on a part, they would like us to stick to a consistent footprint. For example, if we use a push button for an e-stop, we should first pick a general size such as a 10mm diameter. It's fine if we don't use the exact one we picked, but any future changes should be close to the 10mm diameter.
