Go to Post Most of all, I long to give others a chance to experience what I did with FIRST, to give people from my home town that opportunity, because FIRST really is that once in a lifetime opportunity that so many people dont get a chance to be a part of.

CIM motor maximum speed & torque?

Hi. I'm a little confused on what a CIM motor's maximum specs are within the context of FRC.

According to the Vex website, CIMs have a stall torque of 340 oz-in and a stall current of 133A. Because our CIMs are attached to 40A breakers, I believe that our motors won't be able to reach the 340 oz-in limit.

How can I calculate what the maximum torque of a CIM is without tripping the 40A breaker?

Thanks, I would appreciate any guidance.
