Jake,
We had main breaker issues at Waterford due to overheating and high current on our machine. We died in the final match when our driver was playing defense in high gear.
At Lansing we implemented an autoshift function to downshift when the expected wheel speed does not match actual (simplified explanation ofcourse). We also added a small muffin fan under the breaker, blowing directly onto the bi-metal element.
When you guys were doing your pre-match work with your alliance partners, were you modifying their robot or just detailing exactly how you wanted to execute the assists? Sometimes I feel like I am speaking another language during strategy sessions, based on in-match results. Just trying to understand what else might work to ensure we can involve all alliance members and still succeed on the field.
Could just be that I am not patient enough during the match.
