 That sound you hear is a student on the mechanical team trying to get out of the shipping crate you closed too early. - Al Skierkiewicz [more] |

Velcro?
Our breaker is mounted to lexan on the top of our bot so that just the switch pokes out of the top. We use velcro straps (with stick velcro on the lexan itself) to hold the breaker in the on position.
We don't really do this for electrical reasons... I can't see us pulling down more than 60 to 70 amps continuously anyway. We do it because the breaker is on top of the robot and that's where balls tend to come down on... I know, we should have rethought the system, but it was far too late to move the breaker to a convenient location. |
