I can't really say for everone else but I think a general agreement would be to use it to regulate motors. In the past, many (I know mine has) teams have experienced problems with the breakers flipping due to improper gearing and strain on the motors. With the sensors you can use the program to automatically reduce the motor outputs when the current goes too high.
