Did I read <R32> Correctly? Six CIMs?

Not to mention Banebots puts a max torque spec of 85 lb-ft or 115.2 N-m of torque on their P80 gearboxes.

As for the 2 vs 3 CIM Motors, correct me if I am wrong, but based off of this http://content.vexrobotics.com/docs/...otor-specs.pdf

2 Motors at 300oz-in each will draw about 115 amps a piece. 230 amps total.
3 Motors at 200oz-in each will draw about 75 amps a piece for 225 amps total.

Because the curves are linear, total current draw shouldn't matter on number of motors. However, the motors will be rotating faster on the 3 motor setup at ~2200rpm compared to around ~700rpm because each motor has to put out less torque.
