If any of you have been following Buzz you would know that in the begining we would blow the 60 amp fuse constantly (almost every match). This of course results in a catastrophic failure and leaves your alliance to fend for themselves (totally unacceptable). If my memory serves me correctly altogether Buzz has 11 motors on it. We checked and rechecked each motor and could not find anything wrong with our system.
Luckilly, Dr. Joe showed us his neat trick. We used resetable fuses in ours so it had to be approved by FIRST, luckily it did. From that point on, Buzz became a reliable robot. Sure, probably about twice each match Buzz would faulter but the next second everything was back online.
