Teams have implemented a part in the code that does not allow this immediate jump from 0 to 100 percent, and instead ramps it up steadily.
Well we only tripped the breakers a few times on our shooter, lol. Load testing would be neat. I think we have a load tester in the cave actually, I saw it the other day.
