Re: Dead cim
1075 was experiencing some of our first CIM issues at the end of Waterloo regional this weekend.

I think this must have been a progressive failure, as they were still *working*, just not working *well*. We're using them in a 2+2 Swerve configuration, I'm unsure of the gearing, but its reasonable.

They were used all weekend at FLR, and then all weekend at WAT, plus whatever testing we did back in build. Everything seems free, so we dont think anything is binding. Its the first time we've seen the CIMs failing in 8 years of FRC.
