Electrical Controls Design
Overview
- use actual items from each of the previous year's controls (see 1/12/14 notes)
- use some aspects of prior year's color schemes (TBD)
- no lights for the broken switches (not many switches will be used and they have an on/off tag built into them)
- 'underglow': will come out the letter cutouts
- speakers (TBD)
- Click here for joystick and SmartDashboard mapping tables

Design Ideas
To celebrate 10th year, we will use physical parts for each of the prior year robots.
| Year | Potential Item | Where It Will Be Used |
| '05 Rinobot | operator interface | |
| hinges from controls | hinges for the lids | |
| '06 Roflbot | lexicon from controls | behind cut out letters and shine underglow throw it |
| silver knob from controls | knob for extra pot | |
| '07 Aracnaphobia | broken switches | |
| missile switch | ||
| joystick | aux driver joystick | |
| '08 Mach 1511 | missile swtich | |
| broken switches | broken switches | |
| '09 ThunderPlucker | handle | |
| Ethernet port | ||
| dull 3-way switch | autonomous selection | |
| coin button | hip check button | |
| '10 ThunderFoot | handle | handle |
| '11 ThunderusPrime | hand painted tanks | TBD |

Mtg Minutes (with Strategy)
- aux joystick:
- Y axis for intake
- trigger roller in
- 'thumb' button roller out
- 'top' button for fast roller out
- big button for high goal kick (gear)
- button for truss kick (lightning bolt)
- manual shoot power (pick one of the following:
- launch button [auto vs man kick]
- slider w/button for manual kick power
- a pot with gear for the knob
- 3 position switch for autonomous selection (none, 1 ball, 2 ball)
- light on intake side & smartdashboard when intake is fully up
- light on intake side, shooting side & smartdashboard when ball is acquired (not on ground)
1/14/14
Attendace: Gunnar, Chris, Mr. Byers, Eric, Gordan
We worked on CAD and deciding how we wanted to approach making the lightning bolt and gear buttons.
1/15/14
Attendance: Chris, Mr. Byers, Gordan
The CAD model was worked on.
1/16/14
Attendance: Chris, Gunnar, Mr. Byers
Data sheets for some of the switches were found and the CAD model is close to completion.
1/18/14
Attendane: Chris, Gunnar, Mr. Byers, Eric
We finished the CAD work and stared to create the sketches to swend to Harris. We also worked on the shopping list and decided that we are going to use Teensy 3.1 board to make it so the computer sees the aux buttons as a joystick.
