Al,

Thanks for all the explanation and rule of thumb list.
I wasn't originally thinking about using a tool to measure the current draw of the robot but now I'm curious about it. Although I understand the difficulties you mention in finding the right tool for the job.

How would a team figure out the robot is drawing too much current from the battery (before repeated abuse kills the battery)? It sounds like there isn't an easy way to figure this out so most teams don't think about it and get lucky/unlucky.



Hugh,
Thanks for all the info. It's very useful to see actual data measurements.
Now I know what to expect when working with our own batteries. I might use these templates too.
