Good point. Although something tells me figuring out the exact tripping curve of a given main breaker at a given temperature would make a closed loop system very complex. Also, if your are limiting power on your 6 cim+ 2 mini cim drive why wouldn't you go with a simple 6 cim (and software limiters)? With 6 cims only providing a 20-30% acceleration boost over 4 cims, i can't really see how adding mini cims would be much of a gain in top speed or acceleration, not to mention the added complexity of custom or additional COTS gearboxes.
