My strong recommendation is to use the breaker rather than the fuse. As many others have stated, this is permitted by the rules. There is no down-side to it. It's a no-brainer, which is a rare treat in FRC world.
We didn't find out this was legal until the Championship event last year. I wonder how well we would have done if we'd realized it sooner

Our plan is to track down all of the rookie teams at our regional events and make sure they understand the importance of doing this, as an illustration of GP.
