I disagree with you saying it was nit-picking. Saying it is limiting your current implies it will somehow reduce current draw if it goes above 120A. Whereas, what really happens is if you go above the limit for too long, the breaker will trip and cut out everything on your robot. The second one, which actually happens, is obviously worse.
