Hmm, 5 compressors, I suppose that would do it. Are you cooling your compressors at all? From my experience in 2008 (my only experience with any sort of pneumatic system) we found that the compressor works much better when kept cool.

Also, and this is something that the electronic people will have to help you with, (by which I mean NOT me, I'm software) what about having 2 or 3 batteries on there? Yes it would increase weight but it would mean you have more energy stored.

And yes, at that weight I would think that the 16:1 would be a great idea, I'd be interested in knowing how hot your CIMs are getting moving that much weight.

One more question, how do the mecanums handle the track? What type of track is it?
