CIM + Alternative Motor Drive systems
A couple people on my team, including myself, were looking into creating a transmission which uses the CIM and the Andymark motor in the KOP. (The motor would need to be geared down 3:1 before entering a normal toughbox gear ratio).

This would save us weight on motors, power, and free up two CIMs for other applications.

We were wondering if any others had considered, or tested a similar concept. I have heard of teams pairing CIMs and FP motors, and was wondering if anyone could relay there experience.

THANKS!
