Yes. Measure the current.

How do you keep the CIMs from putting out so much torque you break traction with the ground?
You could try limiting the current.

For FRC, not really.

Commercial and military aircraft use highly complex software (and hardware) to anticipate the onset of loss of traction (during braking) and prevent it.
