Mike,

This sounds LOVELY.

Can you give out model numbers? I would like to at least get a peek at the specs for trip time vs current.
If I really get whacky I may buy one and install it on our 2000 robot in time for one of the upcoming afterglow tourneys in Sept. just to see how they work out in live competition situations.

Anyway... ...Thanks a heap for advancing the technology for all FIRST teams.

Now if only someone from Parallax Inc. hosted a FIRST team. I have some suggestions for the STAMP 2 language that would help out a lot....

Joe,
As I sit here at home right now, I can't seem to remember the exact part number. I can send you some information on Monday when I get back to the office. We actually submitted several breakers but FIRST has settled on one them. The characteristic curve of the breaker seemed to tickle their fancy. Is their an email address that I can send this to? Why don't you jog my memory Monday by dropping me an email at carronm@squared.com.
Later and happy botting,
Mike C.

Remember that buying a couple more drill motors also requires buying a couple more speed controllers at $120?? each..

Lighten up on the Bumper Rules!

Let us put them where we want, however big we want (within reason) and give us a little extra weight for them (5 - 10 lbs). Many people didn't use them (including us) because they we didn't have the weight or couldn't legaly put them in areas where they could have helped mitigate damage to other robots during a tussle because they would have been at the wrong elevation.
