Set current limits to protect gearboxes #42

Closed jtechau closed 2 years ago

Versaplanetary gearboxes have torque limits which vary depending on the gear ratios. Some of our motor/gearbox combinations will likely exceed the ratings. (Especially where Falcon or NEO motors are used.) We need to analyze the maximum torque allowable for each motor/gearbox application on the robot, and set a current limit on the motors to limit the torque.
