Like I said, the consensus is that breakers do trip faster after being tripped once. If you are asking if it is worth the work/cost/etc. to switch after each break then that is a question only you and your team can answer. If your robot never really reaches serious heating conditions in gameplay, but you had some strange electrical problem or otherwise that caused the trip, it may not be worth it.
If your robot may trip the breaker in normal play though, the risks of continuing to run on the same tripped breaker likely outweigh any work/cost benefits.
