I am referring to
[R47]

Custom circuits shall not directly alter the power pathways between the battery, PD Board, speed controllers, relays,
motors, or other elements of the Robot control system (including the power pathways to other sensors or circuits).
Custom high impedance voltage monitoring or low impedance current monitoring circuitry connected to the Robot’s
electrical system is acceptable, if the effect on the Robot outputs is inconsequential.

I was trying to point out that it is possible to measure the current draw of a motor like a jaguar does without having to use a jaguar. You can't measure the current draw of the radio in any way.
