Robot Preparation

Wiring Checklist

• Follow good electrical practices.
• Hot glue wires.
• Zip tie loose wires.
• Cut the POE wire inside the ethernet cable between the VH-109 and RoboRIO/SystemCore.
• Make sure all wires are secure, do a "tug test" on each one to ensure nothing will unplug in the event of a collision.
• Use a voltage tester to check for resistance and ensure the robot complies with inspection rules.

Software Checklist

• Make sure the master branch that will be used in competition isn't modified.
• Push the code that will be used in competition, and maybe add a tag to it so it's obvious what should be used.
• Make sure cameras are operational and calibrated.
• Make sure swerve is aligned properly.
• Do a full systems check with a "drop test."

Mechanical Checklist

• Clean cameras with lens wipes, and cover for transport if needed.
• Check for any breaks or bends, replace parts if needed.
• Replace worn wheels and drivetrain tread.
• Vacuum the inside of the robot, mystery dust is bad for electronics.
