Re: What values of free speed RPM, stall torque, and current to use?
In general for FIRST purposes, what should our current limitations be for mechanisms? I.e. what amount of current should be partitioned to our drive train and what amount should be partitioned to our mechanisms? I know we are limited by the 120 amp breakers.

Normally we just kind of throw our electronics together. It has usually worked, but last year we had a problem of drawing too much current while simultaneously driving and winding our winch spool.

EDIT: Thank you, aparld.
