From the manual, here are the specs for the circuit breaker (theres a plot on the data sheet also):

they will hold 100% of rating forever
they will be sure to trip when held at 135% of rating
they will trip in 2.5-6.5 seconds when held at 200% of rating

So for these short periods of time (which are long enough to 'launch' your robot from rest) you can overload the circuit breakers.
