We did not experience breaker issues while also running an intake motor & compressor.

We also did not perform any type of current sensing.

Good to know, depending on the final speed we pick I suspect it will be fine, we shouldn't be trying to pivot the module while stalling the CIMs anyway. Also, nice video, I'm surprised more teams didn't use a pneumatic shooter like you guys, looks quite effective. I couldn't help but notice in the close ups, are you guys using Churros for drive axles? Did you have any problems with that?

Many of the pictures are from the 6-week build period. Eventually during the event we changed to black hex VEXpro shafts.

Churros are not recommended drive axles, but they work well for a quick prototype. We did have enough black hex VEXpro shafts on hand at the time.
