Close-up view of
Z2K and control electronics. The interface to the Zilla is on the left side
of the platform. Next to it is the Series/Parallel contactor which provides
an "electric transmission". Next is another pair of contactors which are
used for Forward/Reverse switching. All the way on the right is the main
contactor, which is used to provide power to the controller only when the
car is turned on.
