The Globe Motor and transmissions were, and are because we have a drawer full of them, a bomb proof set up.

If the BAG motor is supposed to be a better, or Big A$$ Globe motor, what transmission would you pair it with to get the same insane durability and robustness, VersaPlanetary 100:1?

If I recall correctly, the Globe trans was 117:1, or there about.

Re: CIM acronym

Anyone else say "Awww, how cute!" when they opened the Vex Pro box and saw the BAG motor?

Re: CIM acronym

Back in '02 when it debut, it was common to refer to it as a Chip, short for Chiaphua. When it was included in the kit back then it came with an output shaft that was pinion stock, (32 dp, 10 tooth, IIRC) which made it more of a challenge to integrate it into a system. Then in '03 it came with the familiar 8mm shaft like we see today. Someone told me back in '02 that the original Chip motor was/is used in RV jacks and the integrated pinion was there to mate with a gearbox whose output shaft turned the jack screw.

I've seen a CIM in its "native" environment, mounted to the gearbox of an RV leveling jack. There happened to be a couple of FRC students nearby at the time, and they were amused to find it in a real world application.

Depending on region, many here called it a Chalupa after the Taco Bell featured new item of the time. I still do and then everyone gives me the "that's the old guy" look and I step back into the shadows....
The jack screw drive was one of the more common uses for this motor.
