That would be one of the times I would agree that it makes sense.

Also, I'd expect a 22FPS theoretical 6CIM drive to have massive brownout issues on the RoboRIO without some sort of current management in the code.
Gearing for an actual speed of 15 fps after losses would be a better idea to take advantage of all that power I feel. Gearing for 15 fps theoretical with 6 CIMs just seems like a waste of 2 horsepower(1500 watts) to me, you can do it with 4 CIMs.
