Joe-
I don't know enough about demagnetization to know the answer, but I think it still might be worthwhile to *for sure* rule out the breakers tripping. Ours tripped this year while at a gear ratio from the drill motors to 8" wheels of 95:1 with two goals plus robot plus solid traction on the ramp AND cool motors. We ended up going lower in ratio and adding motors (f-p's) to finally eliminate this problem. From what you say I assume you were in low gear on the drills plus your 2:1 chain ratio for a motor-to-8" wheel ratio of about 130:1

Ken
