Thank you so much. That is an excellent resource and is now on my wall as a permanent reference.

This would be an appropriate time to remind everyone that the battery can only supply so much energy. You can load up a lot of motors but running many of them at the same time will lead to brownouts. There is no free lunch fellow knights.

Thank you for that excellent information. Our plan is to use the smaller motors intermittently, and independently of each other as arm actuators, So at any given time there would be our four CIM drive motors and only one smaller motor operating. Hopefully, we won't be taxing the electrical system too much.
