Great minds think alike?

Anyway: The battery will certainly allow four 2.5" CIMs to be driven to near maximum output - our robot does that almost every year. Maybe we'll be near the limit after 2:20, but that also depends upon how it is driven. The real question is whether this will provide more propulsive force than 4 or 6 (or x) wheels on the graound, driven conventionally.

Test results will be posted ASAP.
