Courtesy of FRC Team 358, here is a link to the IRL3103 power MOSFET used in the Victor 884 motor controller. The 884 is an H-bridge using a parallel connection of three of these FETs in each leg. In an earlier thread there was some discussion of the short duration current capacity you should expect from a Victor 884.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
