Did you have any methods in place to reduce the risk of tripping the main breaker, such as turning off 2 CIMs, or having the driver back off during pushing, or were you just geared low enough for it not to be an issue? This is a question for both your 2013 and 2014 robots.

Why did you decide on 4 CIM 2 MiniCIM this year as opposed to your 6 CIM last year?
