Re: Current Sensors

My question is how did the specific information gathered actually impact design and eventually performance of the robot in the face of all other attributes of the system... the difference is between the real and the theoretical.

When my team put cim motors to our dyno and ran them under loads last season, the motors didn't draw anywhere near the specified current, even with multiple batteries connected in parallel, even as the motors approached stall. I don't remember what they drew when stalled for a second or two, but it wasn't enough to blow the fuse.
