Just to answer the question, I would prefer having them just since the motors will be drawing a lot of current. We could probably make do without, but I like having the option.
Thanks again everyone!

It is nice having the option of 40A breakers, but we built an 300lb autonomous Roomba-like robot this year for a lake in our area (cue water game comments), and even when we were running 48" paddlewheels and 75lb conveyor belts off of CIMs, we never blew a 30A breaker, even in full sunlight. This was a huge worry for us, but we just used an old FRC PDB (I'm forgetting which one), and we never looked back.
Just my 2 cents.
