Perhaps it's time for FIRST to consider distributing a higher-amperage breaker in the Kit of Parts? With all the motor power available to teams now, this seems like a pitfall that a lot of teams are falling into.

But to allow a higher amperage breaker would mean requiring larger gauge wire, higher capacity Anderson Connectors and a battery that could sustain a higher continuous current. I'm sure many teams would be upset as some have a rather significant investment in the current batteries and associated pieces.
