Re: PNW robotics teams, what'd you think of the district model?
From what I heard, it wasn't actually the generators that were causing the power issues. They had plenty of power. The problem was the spider boxes that split the output from the generator. They were too expensive to buy more, which made it so 5 teams had to split one 20A fused output from the spider box. If they had more spider boxes and used less teams per output that restriction could go away. Because I remember hearing that they actually had to plug some big lights into the generator at one arena in order to actually draw enough power to keep it running.
