Tools with low power consumption will be allowed - use the machine shop for larger tools. Only 10 Watts per team is allocated - respect it or you will have to be the one resetting the breaker every 10 minutes."
10 watts??? Battery charging will take vastly more than that! Then there's pit lighting, corded power tools, etc.
Doing some simple math on this means that the plan is to power all 30 teams at 10 watts each 30 x 10 = 300 watts total!
