 ==Mounting the Components==
-Mounting the components is quite a simple task that could be given to any [[Freshmen|freshmen]]. All that is required is a screwdriver, screws, and nuts. Note that nuts may be included with some components already.

@@ Line 57: / Line 57: @@
 Wiring is perhaps the single time consuming task on constructing the electronics board other than laying out the components. Wires should be cut so that they are short and follow paths in the board so that the board is neat and clean. The path of each wire should be obvious so it can be seen where it leads to.
-It is highly reccommended to label where everything is connected. For example, if a motor controller is added, there should be a label saying what the motor controller controls on:

 ==Final Test==
 Once everything is approved as safe and correct, power from a battery can be applied. If no [[magic blue smoke]] is present and all status lights seem to be happy and "go", then the board seems to be wired correctly and is ready to be mounted on a robot.

-Sensors and other things such as pneumatic devices usually do not have to be included unless it has been decided that such device will be mounted on the same board and cannot be mounted elsewhere.

 ==Drilling the Holes==
-After all the holes for each and every component are marked, the holes for them can be drilled out. Make sure that this is done '''away''' from the components as getting any debris in the components could cause a '''failure''' at any time. Keep in mind that some components may require the use of a different screw size, ergo a different drill bit size.
