breaker rules
In the past, FIRST has been very clear about what size breakers to use with each kit component. This year the rules specify that the robot controller, compressor, and spikes must have a 20 amp breaker. The only rule about motors (that I can find), is that speed controllers may have a 20 amp, 30 amp, or 40 amp breaker, <R83>.
The guidelines document does suggest that the CIMs and Fischer price use 40 amp breakers, but even then doesn't make it a rule. Did FIRST forget a rule about circuit breakers and motors, or is the only rule this year that the wire size must match the breaker size? |
