Task Description
Redesign electrical box to ensure adequate temperature management & monitoring for desert conditions. High temperatures within the electrical box can lead to overheating of electrical components (causing potential damage). Ebox should be dust/dirt-proof and provide exterior ports to connect to the rest of rover hardware.
Task Breakdown
- Determine concrete list of items in this year’s ebox
- Determine scope of ebox redesign
- Update next steps after redesign scope has been established
Prerequisites

Progress Journal
Task created
PDR completed
Need to figure out how to integrate with battery & gimbal
Main thing to investigate is placement of internal components (which need greatest accessibility)
We have $2k from Protocase for URC electrical enclosure
Electrically insulate (ensure stray wire touching box won’t fry drivetrain)
Handed over task to Yuming
Internal layout (coordinate with electrical)
Back: gimbal, comms, led matrix,
Front: Drivetrain Odrives,
External ports
Fix the CAD
adding ports, mating connections for mounting to base (3D printed mounts)
Simulation
