module 7 of 8
Once the basics work, the margin is in the details: a power budget that survives a full event, a CAN architecture that does not saturate, batteries managed like a fleet, and current limits tuned per mechanism. This module digs into advanced electrical and power-management techniques and walks through real, worked case studies: a four-Kraken swerve power budget, a CANivore CAN FD migration, and a battery-management program, so a competitive team can build a robot that performs in match 1 and in eliminations on a tired battery.
Advanced Techniques & Case Studies closes the Electrical & Wiring guide as module 7 of 8, after Common Mistakes & Troubleshooting. At ~175 minutes across 5 lessons it is the longest module in the guide, which runs about 14 hours end to end.
