I Asked a PhD How to Wire a Robot. Here's What I Learned.

Learn to identify and fix the most common wiring failures that sideline robots, using pro tips from a PhD electrical engineer. ⤵️ Why Watch? In this video, we dive into the most frequent and frustrating wiring problems in FTC robotics: broken solder joints, loose connectors, bent pins, and frayed wires. I'll share simple, effective techniques to build robust wiring that can withstand the rigors of competition. A huge thank you to the FTC mentor and PhD electrical engineer from Colorado who shared these incredible resources to help the wider community (this mentor wished to remain anonymous).
