Re: I might be missing something with a 6 cim drive...
When testing this year, we found that a new breaker can take 6 stalled CIMs and a compressor (~250 amps) for about 25 seconds before tripping. Note that this is to a large extent cumulative over the course of a match, because these breakers are thermal and they don't dump heat instantly (or even particularly quickly); that is, if you stall for 20 seconds early on, you're going to be in real trouble if you get into another pushing match 30 seconds later.
