Re: 775 pro likely to pop breakers?
It looks like your options are to either intake slower or add a second motor. The 775 pro would be the most likely replacement. There's a lot of theoretical gear ratio and motor curve stuff involved, but assuming you need the stall torque of a BAG to intake a ball and you're geared for the same speed, a 775pro would be pulling 56 amps, vs the BAG stalling at 53A. Admittedly, the pro would still be turning at about 60% free speed at that point. But if you need even more torque than that to intake for a second or two, then yes, you're going to start pushing the limits of breakers and speed controllers. It's possible that the higher stall torque will let you power a ball through the mecanums faster and keep you from stalling and blowing things, but I wouldn't want to bet the farm on it.
Gearing slower or adding a second BAG would get you more torque per amp per motor, and thus reduce your chance of blowing things. Two 775pros would probably be even better.
