Interesting. I've seen quite a few gearboxes that run their low this high, but it is somewhat concerning that it is possible for the breaker to trip that easily at 60Amps. I may end up adjusting the ratios a bit to account for this.
EDIT: If needed the gearbox can mount a 28 tooth gear and a 60 tooth ball gear for the low gear in order to get a low speed of 6.02 Ft/s. This would draw around 42 amps. Vex does not make an 28 tooth gear, but my team is capable of manufacturing one.
