I also think the first team to do this won't be one of the greats; I think the first team to try it won't get picked at their event.
The reason for stopping at 6 CIMS is that they are capable of efficiently turning every amp you can get through the main breaker into mechanical energy. Once you do that, any additional motors are meaningless.

And I did mean the first team to successfully execute it, not the first to attempt it.
