The 30 amp breakers will take considerably more than 30 amps for short periods of time, but will heat up and trip much more quickly than the 60 amp breaker if run at, say, 2x its rating. Of course, tripping the 30 amp breakers occasionally is not the "big deal" that tripping the 60 would be, since the 30's reset when they cool down.
If you trip the 30's very often your robot is telling you that something is geared too high.
