well, if you are going to be using the FIRST electricial components, all of you CIM motors will be on 40 amp breakers, so the maximum current draw could be 160 amps. (somebody correct me if I'm very wrong)
My experiences with FRC drivetrains was limited to just one year, but I never saw our drive train draw more than ~35-38 amps/motor.
As for the mechanical aspect, I would not be the person to talk to
