even so, FIRST is just trying to make sure we don't overload the speed controllers, which won't happen this year, but in previous years, when it was possible to get a CIM to draw 60 amps (put 2 cims on a toughbox with ultra-high traction tires on carpet stalling against a wall, they go above 60) they you might have a problem, but this year, we don't have the traction necesary to stall the cims, and i doubt any other motors will ever draw near that much.

It's always possible for your gearbox to get hosed and stall your motor.
