Veterans will be happy.
Rookies will be happy.
JVN will be happy.
No more garbage motors in the interest of "variety."

Building on this, FIRST seemed to attempt the "pick a motor that suits you" system this year with the Banebots motors. It's a good idea, but the quality of some of the motors left much to be desired.
The CIMs have proven to be as close to indestructible one could hope for in a motor for FRC. With the way drivetrains have progressed you pretty much have to use them in the DT to stay competitive. Even 1 additional CIM goes a long long way.
