This kind of formula would even allow the GDC to dial back the maximum total power equivalent (TPE) if they wanted to (as some commenters propose). Hypothetically backing down the limit from 6, to say, 5, would result in *less powerful bots*, but still allow teams to use the following combinations (for example):
4-Cim (divisible by 2 and 4, TPE = 4)
6-Mini-Cim (divisible by 2, 3 and 6, TPE = 4.5)
2-Cim + 4 Mini-Cim (divisible evenly by 2 only, TPE=5)
8-9015 motors (divisible by 2, 4, and 8, TPE=~4.8)
