Re: I might be missing something with a 6 cim drive...

Yes.

With a 125lb robot (including battery and bumpers) geared 6.1:1 with 4'' HiGrip wheels, we stalled 6CIMs when simultaneously running the compressor on a not-quite-full battery, resulting in a current draw of ~250 amps.

With the compressor off and the battery completely full, the same robot spun the wheels and pulled ~180 amps.
