While they didn't mention it, I can't see how they wouldn't. With a high gear of 15 fps and a COF of probably 1.1 or 1.2, and a stall current of over 100 amps, it would be next to impossible to not trip a breaker. Perhaps if you never encountered an obstacle. But as soon as you came up against another robot. Low gear will help, but it still may be possibel to trip it. I don't know. I could runt he numbers but I have no immediate desire to because more is merrier when it comes to motors.
