It's the same reason that you can stall them at all in the first place; if you naively just calculate from the stated stall torque of the motor you'll find that your robot would have to weigh an ungodly amount to stall them at any gearing you'd see on an FRC bot.

True true. I thought about that but did not account for it.

As the resistance outside the battery decreases and approaches near zero (v=ir so 12=133r so r= ~.1ohms) (the motor stalls), the internal resistance inside the battery becomes a significant percentage of the overall resistance, so the potential difference beyond the two terminals is proportionally less than it were when the internal resistance was a small fraction of the overall resistance. Another point for Ampere's law.
