Re: Maxi 40 Amp Fuse Panel

Anyway, each fuse accept a different input power source, and we have to, therefore, split the power coming from the 6 AWG wire from the fuse breaker into 4 to power it. I just wanted to make sure all this is legal, i.e., using a different fuse panel than that provided in the kit (granted that none was provided in ours). I didn't see anything immediately applicable from a glance at the electronics/wiring section. Thank you.
I don't know if they would consider that something that's providing power to the robot other than something they've designated.

It's time for a FIRST Q&A post I guess!
