What happens if the + and - wires are inverted, or if the board draws too much current?BOOM No, don't worry, nothing's going to explode. The beauty of the 9880 is that it's been designed by former participants of the CRC Robotics Competition, so we know what kind of mistake one can do in the heat of the moment. Fortunately, the 12V input is reversed protected so you don't have to worry about inverting the 12V and GND wires coming from your robot's main 12V battery. Also, the 12V input is PTC protected against overcurrent of 400mA and more. |

The quick-connect tabs seem stuck and don't hold my wires in place! What do I do?The orange tabs can be locked in place if they are pushed past the locking threshold. Pop them back up carefully with a screwdriver if needed. A distinct click will be heard. |
30 seconds before the start of the final heat of the final round of Actimania 2015, Cegep Gerald-Godin completely fried their electrical system by plugging their main 12V battery the wrong way. Immediately, their 4 opponents came to help them rewire, right on the main playing field, their whole robot so they could play the last heat. The crowd cheered all along, and during that impromptu pause started the now famous Macarena tradition. Talk about a truly CRC moment!
