what happens with electrical parts when a lot of current goes thru them, is that they get hot....every part has resistance, and resistance turns electrical power into heat energy. When the metal parts get hot enough, they melt thru and can no longer conduct electricity.

The point of having circuit breakers and fuses, is to put a "weak link" in the circuit that will fail first, and prevent the other wiring and components from overheating.

The power distribution system for the robots is a well designed system, and will do it's job if you follow the instructions carefully so you build it as designed (and make sure to tighten all the wire connections firmly)
