The 2.06 spread is being tested specifically to see what kinds of acceleration we will see with a lower top speed, but more torque. As for the current draw, we have not thought of any ways to measure that yet.

Excellent idea of testing the different speeds and spreads. I'm not entirely certain what method they used, but Team Spectrum 3847 had a method of measuring their current draw on their robot this year. While you are testing spreads, I think it would be interesting to add this current meter to see how many amps you're pulling in certain situations. It could help you better assess what main breaker limitations you may have in the future.
