We did use the guide. We are right on the edge of what is advisable for the versaplanetary with a mini-cim. During normal operation we will be nowhere near the stall limit of the mini-Cim. Flipping the whole robot back over will only be a 22amp draw (from JVN) design call.

Though your point is well-taken. The versaplanetary guide is to be taken quite seriously!
