Ah, my mistake. Regardless... I have not seen a CIM stall in FIRST. EVER.

I disagree. If both robots have the same amount of traction, the bot with more ability to turn the wheels will do just that, turn the wheels. A slightly mocked down version of burning out. I believe the lower RPMs help in a situation like that, putting more grip to the floor. Plus the higher load CIM is running more efficiently.

Just for the record... adding motors normally does not increase pushing ability, just range of top speed.
