Re: CIM Motor Sacrifice

Assuming the shooter in a given robot is higher than the drive train motors (likely) I think that using the 775s to shoot is a good choice because they weigh about 2lbs less than a CIM. Keeping weight low in the robot will be very important for balancing and going over the barrier.

We're planning on having our shooter at the top of the robot, so keeping 4lbs at the bottom will help make the robot more stable while only sacrificing a little bit of shooting power.
