Re: 9 motors too much?
6 motors on drive
1 for the lift
1-2 for wrist depending on how much space we actually have
1 for end manipulator
1 to deploy mini bot

even with 11 motors total, there is no way that all will be running at the same time, for instance cruising around the field with our CG so high from the mast means that there will never be more than 7 motors running at a time under any appreciable load. also keep in mind that the window motors and the tiny bane bots do not draw much current at all.
