Re: 3 CIM Drive Train Battery Draw

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.
