Going that fast will also impact power consumption during acceleration. I wonder what the peak current is.
Yeah, that would be an interesting experiment. It would be hard to do either, maybe I'll get back to you with those numbers after our next shop meeting on Wednesday. You're right about power consumption. Our bunny bot pulled way too many amps when accelerating, and would often have a dead battery by the end of the match. Our comp bot wasn't so bad, but a battery would die after about 7-8 min of heavy practice. I'm just glad that we did't have to deal with our main breaker tripping!
