I thought there was a 6 CIM limit?!

What's wrong in it? Maybe the 67AH, but that has a question mark of uncertainty on it. It's just go get the point.

6 cims can accelerate a robot faster than 4 cims, so they draw more power total.

Cims are not 'rated for 67A/hr'...motors aren't rated by charge capacity, batteries are.

Cims won't always use 67A, but at stall (maximum torque) they can draw 133A. At peak power output they will draw 68A.
Isn't that what I said?! Also, I was referring to the draw (i don't know exactly how to express it). However, I think it should have been understood by the context.
