Yes my intent was to support that claim. The only time scrubbing would be involved is when translating arbitrarily, and rorating at the same time. I believe that in that case, the 6 CIMs would be able to power though the scrubbing, given the gear ratio and width/length of the drive base.

Obviously, this is an opinion, and you can be sure without testing.
