Re: Curious... Anyone smoked a motor with Tetrix ptc
I didn't say the main fuse from the minibot battery should be replaced with individual fuses to the motors. The thermally-protected motor feeds, repair of damaged motors, and main fuse reduction were allowed by the GDC in team updates to help protect these motors. Every other motor circuit on the robot requires power be delivered to a motor trough a main circuit breaker and then through an individual fuse or circuit breaker. The minibot should be no different just to maintain consistency, if for no other reason. I guess I can agree to disagree.
