Mini bot fuse question

[DonRotolo]

A team in NJ was using the 7.5A fuse as a shut-off for when it hit the top, I didn't notice any damaged motors. They did blow a fuse every match though.

We use a 7.5 A, and replace it after every match.

We did the same, with a 5A. It's our stopping mechanism.

Fuses are not for protecting components they are for protecting wire. Someone posted a link to the littlefuse data sheet for ATM fuses. They can handle much more than what is stamped on them for short periods, so I wouldn't recommend more than a 7.5A fuse.
