Question Monitoring Current During Competition

I'm on a rookie team and have a rather pressing question concerning how best to monitor current draw during the competition. I know a DC clamp on ammeter can be used for testing, but is there a way to get an ammeter to use during competition to monitor the current draw of our drive motors? We need to make sure that the breakers won't be tripping when we are running our motors at full power. If this is a common practice, some advice on how best to do so would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
