FRC971 Spartan Robotics 2016 Release Video

Would someone be willing to speak a bit on how power is managed and brownouts are prevented on this robot? Maybe it's a non-issue, but with the amount of motors on the robot and the large forces they (seemingly) must endure, it seems some kind of smart power management would be necessary.

Maybe the answer to this is related to that of the above, but what drove the decision behind which reductions and how many motors to put on each gearbox?

This bot has truly gotten me excited to play with big machines and improve my CAD skills in college. I'm shamelessly jealous of how much 971's students must get to learn about machining and design before they even graduate high school.
