I would be concerned about running 6 CIMs in a drivetrain this year if you don't have plans to make some funky software or something to prevent brownouts. However I haven't done the math or tested it, so there might be a more educated person to answer.

I also don't see the need for 6 CIMs in a drivetrain this year. The field is cramped, and defense is limited.
This robot is currently running on a Roborio. and still no Brownouts

Edit: I should add that we had each wheel independently powered by it's own CIM through Versa planetaries
