Hello, I’m from a rookie team and I have doubts about the sharpening and electrical distribution part We are a team from Brazil
What part are you having trouble with?
I have a little doubt about electricity distribution, where I can spend more energy and where I have to save more, Thank you for the support site
I see! The answer you’re looking for is in optimization.
Ramp rates prevent a motor from going from 0 to 100% pull instantly (which reduces strain on voltage).
I recommend a ramp rate of 0.25 seconds which allows a motor to go from rest to 100% in 0.25 seconds.
Current limits help save your motors and motor controllers when they are “stuck” and can’t move which is known as “stalling”.
There are 2 types of current limits, the output limit to the rotor which is known as “stator” and the input limit to the motor-controller which is known as “supply”.
I like to limit the supply current limit as it impacts the battery more directly in my eyes and this varies between motors. In general set it to the maximum amperage of the motor or ideally a little less.
Common Current limits that ik are below:
NEO: 40A
NEO550: 20A
Note: The stator current limit couldn’t be set on SparkMAX in 2024, I am unsure if this has changed in 2025.

Thank you very much, it gave a light in our tunnel thank you for the site too
