Re: How do you design a robot that doesn't brownout?
We are budgeting several things, not only cost, but weight, power, and air pressure. I've come up with several states (and will add/remove as necessary to fit next year) as well as what subsystems will be on during those times. (See attachment). I then calculate the total amount of power draw during those times to calculate the voltage drop. I've also thrown in stuff that can tell me if I'm going to pop the main breaker. The model I'm using is somewhat crude and not exact, but it's in the ballpark (I hope). It will tell us if there are any states we should be particularly concerned about, and whether or not we can do things like run the compressor.
