    The robot is HIGHLY unstable and it makes horrible grinding noises.

    The cable management is abysmal. It's like a bowl of spaghetti.

    I'm am trying my best to be a supportive and not overly interventionist, annoying, advisor to the robotics club, but if these kids don't stop overloading those motors and learn to use some gears I AM GOING TO CRY.

    "Wow these cables are kind of a big tangle."
    "yeah we had to hook up so many things, they make you give it an ON/OFF switch!"
    "Well maybe you should bundle some of them together so it's less likely to tangle."
    "OK"

    *makes one big yarn ball of cables*

    "Cable management. We need Cable Management. This is like when the cables are a lovely diagram for your eyes that shows how everything is connected with all the extra bits folded away. This... yarn ball, is, one idea. We need a new idea."

          They were very upset about the "on/off" switch for some reason, but it's a safety thing.

              Would it be wrong to put up some photos of cable lacing in the room you're working in?

                This is a good photo. Maybe some strategic decorations could help.

                  To be fair to them, the robot *can* do the task... maybe half of the time.

                      They have improved the cable management so much. I’m so proud of them.

                        I could learn some lessons from them. I hate cable nests but usually just cram them behind something so I don’t have to look at it.

                          If you can’t see the wire rats nest then it doesn’t exist? is that the theory? ☺️
