### Major — Elevator/Extension Design
Designed forelevators and extensions — large multi-motor mechanisms with bundled power + signal cables that fail regularly with motion. **This was the birth of the Canjector project** — Team 2890 had an elevator with a power harness (bundle of cables for power and signal) that failed repeatedly due to mechanical stress from motion. Major provides centralized distribution for those cables, replacing the fragile bundled harness with modular connectors.

**Flexible placement:** Not restricted to mechanism endpoints. If many motors are clustered near the roboRIO, place a Major there to distribute 6 CAN + 2 12V connections locally — tap up to 5 additional devices beyond the primary mechanism connection.
