I vote for smokin' motors!

I prefer to allow teams enough rope to hang themselves.

The motors are definitely the easiest to turn into toaster (and believe me we have smoked our share), but I feel that we have learned to live with them as they are.

We have learned how much load we can put on them and how much cooling we have to provide them and how hard we can push them.

The first year they were in the kit we never made it through a tournament without at least one fan melted off the armature. This year, with the exception of a motor burned up during program debug, we never lost a motor. So... I think that this is a case of letting us hang ourselves if we want to.

I vote against 20 Amp breakers as a mandate. I could go for an optional construction rule. But... I suppose that my preference would be for things to stay as they are.

Joe J.
