Main breaker was replaced, seems to be another issue...

We run hard on the practice field for over 5 minutes no problems at all. Going over defenses and running cycles, the motors get hot but the breaker never trips.

The practice bot we run hard in the shop for long durations, and still no breaker issues.

We get to the field and drive for about half the match, and the breaker trips......
Ahhhh

Don't know what the current draw is but, our electrical mentor checked and it did not seem that high. He is going to put a scope meter on the practice bot with the kids and try and figure this one out.

I'm going to get the kids working on some potential mechanical solutions for it.

Regardless we are moving the location of the breaker for sure.
