Hi, I’m Brian Sheedy and I am the electrical department lead. I am in charge of laying out and assembling the electrical board and anything related to it. I also work on the pneumatics for the robot.
For the last two weeks I have been working on the e-board for our robot Air Charlie. It was a lot easier this time because we wired the Jaguars up with CAN. Instead of long PWM wires all over the place, the Jaguars are daisy chained so the wiring is a lot neater.

Today we got to assemble the chassis, the tower, and the e-board together. After a few stupid mistakes by software, the robot was driving around in low gear. Here is a video of our robot driving around:
