Electrical & Wiring

I wire FRC and VEX competition robots with a focus on clean, legal, and serviceable layouts. My work includes power distribution, motor controllers, sensors, pneumatics wiring, CAN and signal routing, cable management, strain relief, and designing electrical layouts that are easy to inspect, troubleshoot, and repair at events
