Re: 6 CIM robo-rio brown out

With 4 CIMs it seems easy enough to trip a 40 Amp breaker if the robot is geared high (fast) and pushing. But what if you ran 6 Mini-CIMs? Less chance of tripping a 40A breaker, and no concern about browning out. In theory, you could gear a robot with 6 Mini-CIMs higher (faster) than a robot with 4 CIMs. Thoughts?
