Circuit protection

[FRC2669]

Hey GDC, thanks for the support and the fast responses, we have some additional questions about this year's rules.

...

3) The Inspection List has raised a few questions in meeting we held. here they are:
* Does the IR circuit has to be used through a 20A breaker?
* Does the Rockwell electric splitter (the one that looks like a red/black bus) has to be used? We really dislike this single part as it has no protaction and takes a lot of weight and place and we can split all the Positive and Negative electrical ends we need in the other panels, which are also protected by 20/30 A fuses. So is that part a 'Must' on the robot?

...

We are sorry if there are too many questions in here and you are gonna have to split it into seperate messeges in different sub-forums, but we also believe that it will be easier for you guys to get this answered then 5 different posts, if not please say so and the next questions we will be making are going to be in seperate posts.


Thanks a lot, KY Bots, FRC2669.

Question 3: The IR receiver circuit must be protected by a 20-amp circuit breaker (see Rule <R55>). The Rockwell Power Distribution Block must be used, as described in Rule <R50>.
