Re: Wiring 12 Motors

While you can use the 30A fuses, just make sure your applications don't draw more than 30A.

Also, 12 motors is a lot. Expect heavy battery drain! Also be aware of what happens to motor outputs when the roboRIO drops below a certain voltage.

Edit: Also check rule R37 and R38 for proper wire gauge and motor controller rules.
