Here’s an example of the PDP fuses working their way out by the time eliminations rolled around.
They were never pushed in all the way.
Properly inserted there should only be about 1/4" showing, and are not removable by hand any longer.
If you can easily remove the fuses by hand, then they are not seated all the way.
Attached are three variations:
- fuses on a robot in Semi-Finals that have worked their way out
- fuses properly seated
- one good/one badly seated fuse to compare
