Let me just start by saying that all my remarks more or less come with a "your mileage may vary" disclaimer. I don't take blame or credit so easily.
Now to the 120Amp breaker issue. I am surprised that even with this condition you tripped the breaker, but I suppose that with all the improbablities piled up on top of eachother, it is possible. Well... ...to say "I suppose" is wrong. I should say, now I realize that given a long enough time of stalling 4 motors plus others you can trip the 120A breaker.
But evenso, I pretty much stand by my thought that it is almost impossible to trip it in a 2 minute match.
If anything, Matt's story is a cautionary tale to spray the 120A breaker with "cool in a can" while you are spraying your motors, especially if you are stalling many of the drive motors for significant portions of the match (search for my messages on "Cool in a Can" if you want to know my feelings about the importance of this product -- especially during elimination rounds where you play many matches in a row).
