The current Rating is 6 AMPs for this pb switch but I assume that is somewhat comparable to a household light switch. The rules specify max a 20 amp fuse so I would think that would be sufficient for current limiting.

Is there anyway I can get a First judge to respond to this?

Also, Is there a detailed list of the Tetrix components on-line? I have failed to find it and I wonder if there is a switch from that list we could use instead.

As with anything else, the only way to get an official opinion is to use the Q&A on the FIRST website. You have to log in with your team ID found in TIMS.

If you are running 2 motors. It is possible to run them at 1/2 voltage (potentially 1/2 speed) by switching them into series connection instead of parallel connection. This cuts the current thru the motors in 1/2.
