Re: WARNING All teams should read this
That robot as you described it should not have passed inspection. The rules only allow the Snap-Action breakers as given in the kit (and it says so on the inspection checklist)--the only fuses anywhere on the robot are found on the Spike relays, which even a hurried inspector should be able to catch when it's connected to a CIM motor. If you spot such a thing again, please do flag down an inspector. Surely some team somewhere had another breaker block available for such an emergency.
