After 8 it will start to lower power but it’s 10 before it’s really noticeable.

Cool, good to know. Thanks.

The algorithm in this years firmware was simple, if you had more than 8 motors, each motor was capped at 20A / number_of_motors. Using 20 motors on the robot limited each one to 1A max. Next year we may see if we can make this more adaptable and only consider motors being actively used, however, it’s a bit more difficult than it may appear to do that.

So in the future, VEX U teams may be able to use 20 motors without significant performance penalty if only a few are running at once.
