Re: FRC Blog - 2016 Motor Controllers

I'm confused what the point of designing a motor controller for 60 amp continuous is if the largest breaker we are allowed to use is 40 amps. I understand the higher peak, but the I was under the impression that breakers would snap once you get above 40 amps for more than a few milliseconds. It would make sense if these were already being produced and are just now being approved for FRC, but the blog post makes it sound like they were developed specifically for FRC teams.
