A tower for holding the entire FRC control system.

This tower hold the entire control system altogether in one single assembly which includes:

• Battery
• 120A Breaker
• roboRIO
• PDP (CTRE only, REV is too long for this tower)
• VRM
• Buck converter (this is the one used in the picture https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0BLGK5D9G?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details )
• CTRE Piegon 2.0 (at the bottom)
• CTRE CANIvore (at the bottom)
• SB50 battery plug or radio

Important notice regarding the removal of battery from this tower: DO NOT PULL ON BATTERY CABLE LEAD. DO SO MIGHT CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BATTERY AND THE CONNECTOR. Please use a pipe shaped object to lift the battery from the bottom or place stripe on battery to assist battery removal.

You will also need this roboRIO mount! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:656030

VRM options: You could mount VRM, or thropugh an adapter, a buck converter (as vivid-hosting radio might not require VRM in the future, always refer to the game manual for up-to-date requirement regarding radio powering requirements). A Rack is also provided to mount both the VRM and buck converter on this rack.

Use this table to choose which adapter to print.

Radio mounting: Shown in the photo. a nonconvential radio rack is used to mount a TP-LINK radio. This radio is not FRC legal as this radio is for personal testing. I don't have a mount for both open-mesh and vivid-hosting radio. You might need to find a mount and mod it to fit it in this tower. Mounting the radio on this tower might not be the best potision depends on the robot configuration. Please plan your radio mounting accordingly.

SB50 Battery Plug: Alternatively, the screw hole designed for mounting radio could also be used to mount SB50 battery connector but due to the amount of force required when disconnecting the battery, mounting SB50 connector on this assembly could cause damage. This is still under experiment.
