module 6 of 7
Real pitfalls, the symptoms that reveal them, and the debugging workflow to fix them - at the bench, in the pit, and in code. This module catalogs the mistakes that actually injure FRC teams and tank inspections: brownouts from undersized wiring and missing current limits, battery handling errors, electrical-isolation failures inspectors fail you for, stored-energy surprises during pit work, and the pit-conduct findings (daisy-chained strips, missing glasses) a UL Safety Advisor flags. Each lesson pairs the mistake with a concrete diagnostic procedure and a verified fix using real part numbers and real rule numbers.
Common Safety Mistakes & Troubleshooting is module 6 of 7 in the Safety guide. It picks up where Safety Worked Examples & Mini-Projects left off and hands over to Advanced Safety Engineering & Case Studies. Its 5 lessons are about 110 minutes of the guide's ~10 hours.
