Re: 2013 Western Canadian FRC Regional Pit Power
Maybe they meant 10 Amps (after all breakers are measured in Amps, not Watts)? Charging a battery 12V @6A pulls less than 1A of current at 120V. It's reasonable to charge a few batteries plus a laptop within 10A. Start tossing on additional laptops, cell phones, and power tools and it'll rapidly get up there, though!
Unfortunately, FIRST is stuck with whatever power system is available at the venue. If power turns out to be a huge issue, hopefully they'll look at alternative nearby venues for next year!
