Technically it satisfies the rule right now, but it might not be visible once the bot is covered in orange paint. It's actually just the stupidly bright red LED on the arduino I've got in there, but since it's powered by the receiver it's only on when the robot is. The HDPE acts as a nice diffuser though, I'll probably just leave a square unpainted to let it shine through.I suppose I shouldn't have just told the one guy with the crusher robot where my weapon control system is though...
One general other question for you folks, what fuse do I use? I have a few 30A car fuses, but I honestly have no idea how much current my robot draws, having four drill motors and a brushless weapon. Any idea what I should go for? I think a fuse is required in the rules.
Edit: Just to recap, I have three TZ 85A ESCs running off a 60C, 3,300 mAh LiPo. I suppose this would put my max discharge just under 200A, but I can't imagine that much is ever actually being drawn, certainly not 85A from the weapon motor.
