Really impressive and inspirational!!! I'll take 4-5 dedicated hard-working students over a large team of clueless, no one is really accountable, why are we here? hangers-on any day...

Our sponsor lost one of our other new CIMs, so we had to use one of the older ones which came on the controller. It says Fisher Price on it, and it use to have a belt tensioner on it.

If it's illegal, then we can use the CIM that our sponsor found yesterday (the lost one). It was one ordered for this year, so it should be fine if the current one isn't.

It's illegal. It was in the KOP from 2006-2007, but is no longer legal (<R51>, <R52>). The nontechnical term is "Big CIM" as opposed to "CIM". Distinguishing features include the belt tensioner, a semi-triangular output face, and a very large weight.

Better bring that replacement new CIM with you to L.A. and make the change there.
