Just a question (yes, I know, I ask a lot of questions), are uk fw bots allowed to use team whyachi MS-05 switches to turn bots on and off???? I see this as a great idea as there is no part to be removed or that can fall out.
Please let me know peoples thoughts on this,
Thanks
No.

ha ha ha,
But why????
Because there is no visual guarantee that the robot is dead. By having a removeable link in your hand, you know the robot is dead. Oh and no tools are needed to remove the link too.
Oh, ok, thanks for that. Only just remembered that part of the rules
And there is the possibility that those types of breakers can weld themselves together if high currents are pulled, which they usually are, in which case you can never turn the machine off!
When I messed up my wiring and was shorting a 6s lipo my deans connector removable link melted and welded itself together as I put it in, luckily had the bot open so was able to quickly unplug the battery itself! Lol
Can you put a removable fuse (automotive type sort of, slow burn) instead of a removable link?
