We will be going over our new logic board. The logic board is meant to replace our previous motor controller as well as some additional power distribution capabilities. We also will be going over the wireless board, which will interface with the sensors on the logic board and sensors from elsewhere on the robot. Our overall goal with these new additions is to increase the intelligence of the electrical system without depending on the computer for better diagnostics when things go wrong (if they do).

You can find the designs in question on the electrical GitHub. Here are the subjects of the design review:
Logic board
- Handles core robot functions (motor control, encoder feedback, etc.)
- No longer handles power distribution (moved to off-board regulators)
- Powers fans
Wireless board
- Handles non-essential functionality (diagnostics, etc.)
E-Stop board
- Controls the e-stop
- Contains the diode logic that controls the starting and stopping of the robot
