Re: Breaker Trips

Thanks for all the responses. This helps clear up some info about how we could run our motors next year. Obviously no one knows what next year holds but are there any indications of changing to current motor styles or number of motors allowed? Also I noticed the new PDB has some feedback next year. Does anyone know if you could manually limit current through it? Lastly, while this is a bit off topic, we are thinking of having our robot and test robot at some events and charge people to test drive them. This is obviously to raise money. What are some things we can do to keep from burning up our motors and motor controllers? We can limit throttle in the code which should help the motors but is that better or worse on our motor controllers? We use Victor 888's right now.
