Re: MicroControllers at competitions

Out of curiosity, what motors were you using?

Are you thinking for in-match debugging, or in the pits? Be aware that in-line current monitoring has been illegalrestricted by past years' rules.

Seems like this would be a good thing to have tested enough in your shop to know that the motors wouldn't die. That way you have time if you need to adjust gear ratios, etc.

Speaking of Fluke, what about an AC/DC clamp-on current meter?
