We ran into this problem last year at VCU, before we tuned down our drive train. We were going fast enough to reach the goals in 1.8 seconds, but in those 1.8 seconds, we were destabalizing batteries.we tried to solve this by manually turning the compressor on and off using a switch on the conroll box, andturning off all things but the drive motors, but we couldn't get it to draw much less current. So in the end, we ended up just slowing down our drive.
