Well, we didn't run all 12 motors at once, but we did blow the 60A circuit breaker too many times when we were in a tup-of-war situation. This was due to running 6 strong motors in our drive train. Also... our ball collector system has to be off while in a tug-of-war.

There were 3 matches in a row where we either lost power by tripping a breaker or just sucked the voltage out of a battery too quickly. Man... that was tough. It is fixed, though.
