As far as I know there was no code action in place to reduce the risk of tripping the main breaker. I can also guarantee the driver never backed off pushing for fear of tripping the main breaker
. I see queries regarding 6 CIMs and the main breaker all the time but I can honestly say I have never experienced current-related main breaker problems. I'm just guessing our conservative gearing has helped us avoid these issues. I can't speak fully for the 2013 driver but I'm guessing 2013 is a similar story.

This isn't a very good reason but here goes: We only had 4 CIMs that looked up to our standards in our little box o' CIMs so we figured we would just skip the ones with slightly damaged leads and use Mini CIMs instead because why take chances? On the product page it says they can be used interchangeably so we took that and ran with it. We ended up swapping the Mini CIMs with full-size CIMs on bag day night though so I can't comment on how well CIMs + MiniCIMs play together in competition. No gripes about it during practice at least.
