Re: Speed Controller

Things tend to catch on fire if we don't follow the rules. While I will agree with you ahead of time that your team's robot would never catch on fire due to stalled motors going through circuitry that cannot handle all of that current, consider that FIRST doesn't want any of the 2000 teams' robots to catch fire. Thus we all must follow safety guidelines.
