John,
Are we reading you right, the shooter is a direct drive CIM? I would expect that to spike motor current significantly when starting the shooter or when ejecting a ball. Remember that the CIM motor is speced at 133 amps at stall. While these two motor together shouldn't draw the battery down that much, there is a possibility that you have loose connections as described above by phil. A drop in voltage is normal, but on a fully charged battery running only these two motors I would expect it to only draw down to 10 or a little under during the first part of the match.
