Woodie said it and update 3 I think
If you remember Woodie Talking in the kickoff, he said that they had run tests on the primary breaker being supplied to the teams.
The breaker is somewhat slow blow. I believe one of the earlier team updates has to results for the test but basically this is what woodie said in the kickoff. -the breaker will last 1 min 48 seconds at 100 amps -the breaker will last 8 seconds at 200 amps. The smaller fuses (for each motor) are fast blow on the other hand. If you draw over their limit for about 1-2 seconds they will blow, but will reset within the span of a match. However you should design your robot such that none of your fuses blow, if you lose power even to a small fuse in the match, you are effectively vulnerable for about 30 seconds as we found out through a bad crimp in the 2000 competition. Hope that answers some questions. |
