To be honest, I've never run one through any sort of current measuring device, but I certainly have tripped 40 Amp breakers with them. I know some teams have done current monitoring (and if I recall, some sort of FIRST-sponsored program at IRI 2008?). Do any teams have any current draw data they'd like to share?

As I said, in the range where a motor is used, the specs are fairly accurate. You don't USE a motor at stall. It doesn't do much. I am offering the results of a scientific experiment, you can choose to do with that data what you like. I can say, with absolute certainty, that a CIM motor will never draw 129 amps, or even 50 amps.
