FIRST Robotics Wiring Basics Quiz

Which components are some of the key elements that should be given room for placement on the robot? CHECK ALL THAT APPLY

• Camera, Sensors, Motors

• Gyro, Accelerometer, Encoder

• RoboRIO, Radio, PDP

• Battery, VRM, Power Switch

Why is it important to leave room for key electrical components on the robot?

• To make the robot heavier

• To make the robot more complex

• To make the robot more expensive

• To make the robot devices accessible maintenance and easier to assemble.
