SESSION, STREAMING ON FUN
You Should CAD Your Wires
During the 2025 season, FRC 3005, the RoboChargers, debuted a highly effective workflow for laying out and routing the robot’s electrical subsystem early in the design process. This presentation will review how this workflow helped FRC 3005 streamline the robot build process and improve reliability and maintainability. The workflow builds on the success of their “High Fidelity Block CAD” methodology. The presentation includes a first look at several custom Onshape features developed by RoboChargers members to streamline this part of the design process.
