The motors in the diagram do not look like the CIMs, at least from what I can tell. Everything else looks like kit items. Could this mean that we are getting some other type of motors other than the CIM. Or can am I just seeing things.

Even if they aren't I wouldn't read too much into it. Looking at this the pictures do not appear to be exactly what we have/will receive.

Having done this as long as I have I know not to read into things too much. It is merely an observation that everything else in the picture is either a new kit item or an old one. The motor pictured is the only oddball in my view. However it looks to be the same size with a shorter output shaft. Im sure if it is different the characteristics are close enough to not make a fuss.

The "digital" sensors look somewhat odd to me as well.

The cRio isn't sporting the normal connections that FIRST will be using this year.

At least we get a choice of a digital palm reader or an analog palm reader.

This year's game is to predict what next year's game will be by robotic fortune teller.

Any reason why there are two digital sidecars in the picture?

I don't want to be an alarmist but, take a look at the graphic of the motors the controllers are attached to. Those don't look like the CIM's we've used in the past do they?

Sometimes it is a good idea to read a thread before you post. That observation was already made.
