Re: 3 CIM Drive Train Battery Draw

I'd like to add my thanks to Big Al and the FMS crew at CIL for their help!

One additional question for Al ... other than the weight penalty, is there any other consideration or FRC rule implication to moving to larger gauge wire on the Battery to PDB loop?

Section 4.8 of the game manual and related figures all reference 6 AWG Wire (min).

It may be easier for us to move to larger wire gauge at this point versus re-arranging components. Thoughts?
