Re: utter confusion

Just because the setup runs off of the battery does not mean that the issue is not mechanical.

The CIM motors can draw 133 Amps at stall and can still spin very fast when drawing much more current than can be provided when used in the typical robot setup. When drawing 80A the CIM can still spin at ~2150RPM.
