*Not on control systems. I understand the concept*

It all depents on the load you are pulling. A bot with a 6 moter drivetrain will pull more than a 2 moter drivetrain. And if you spend all match in a tug-of-war, driving the moters near stall vs a ball getter where you are not running the moters so hard.
And if you are running the bot around alot, take breaks to protect to moters.

Hmm...
As I think about this, what if this was intended as an equalizer this year but no one noticed?
