If a ROBOT has multiple configurations used at a single event which use different MECHANISMS, the sum total of all motors and servos must be less than or equal to the limit set in this rule.

For servos, note that each REV Expansion Hub and REV Control Hub provide 5V and are limited to a max current output of 5A total shared across all servo ports and the +5V auxiliary power port, with a 2A maximum limit across paired servo ports (10W of maximum electrical output power per port pair, 25W total). Teams should make sure that their total servo power usage always remains below this limit.

Given the extensive number of motors and servos allowed on the ROBOT, teams are encouraged to consider the total power available from the ROBOT battery during the design and build of the ROBOT. Drawing large amounts of current from many motors and/or servos at the same time could lead to drops in ROBOT battery voltage that may result in exceeding the battery fuse limits or browning out the control system leading to power loss or communications loss.
