I dont know if somebodys already posted this scenario, b/c i didnt bother to read all posts. your issue could in fact be that you are loading your drive motors too high- we at team 1647 from new jersey have had the same problem and we had the same assumptions (one of the questions i would like to ask is what kind of drive system are you using?) we used the omni drive setup where we have 2 sets of wheels on perpindicular axis to each other- one CIM to a transmission (4 trannys) and the gearing and the diameter of the wheels were factors in overloading on the amperage needed. we solved the problem by creating a whole new drive system that we are goin to swap out at the philadelphia regional. what i would suggest instead of such a darastic change that we did would be to change the gearing inside the tranny or change out to a different brand tranny if thats possible- or maybe find a more powerful matter of CIM. (that can still handle the 40 amp breakers- which may not be possible) other than that... i cant tell you anything else. basically we solved our problem by keeping the same number of motors but dropping trannys by 2 and shifting drive to one axis instead of 2 and shifting to a more tacky wheel for defense... aight thats all i ahve to say... oops i wrote alot sry!
