Re: *Warning* On talons!!!!

We ran a talon with fan in a drive train stalled and pulled a continuous 78 amps by using multiple 40amp breaker inputs with no problem for extended periods of time during our beta testing.

An FRC robot should have a 40 amp snap action breaker that should not allow the Talon or Any Other motor controller to see 100 amps continuously for any amount of time.

Can you please detail your robot setup to show us how you pulled 100 amps long enough to damage the Talon?
