3 CIM Drive Train Battery Draw

That doesn't mean that they will always use 67 amps. That is what will happen on full load, and I think you have other things to worry about by then!

Please do a LOT more homework before posting information like this. What you posted was terribly incorrect information.

6 cims can accelerate a robot faster than 4 cims, so they draw more power total.

Cims are not 'rated for 67A/hr'...motors aren't rated by charge capacity, batteries are.

Cims won't always use 67A, but at stall (maximum torque) they can draw 133A. At peak power output they will draw 68A.

And, when batteries are so rated, the units are not amperes per hour, they are ampere hours.

Correct as always Ether! A*hr, not A/hr
