Re: CIM Motor Sacrifice

I still have memories of the guys up the road from us using a FP to power their 2008 shooter with a FP and a "gigantic" Zalman copper heatsink on it so it didn't melt down.

As an offseason project we had some students build an AIM High style shooter using two CIMs and AM hubs to direct mount wheels, not only did it sound like a death trap spooling up but it was really heavy. They never got around to building a version only using one CIM.

I'd still have reservations with putting one of those way up "high" on a robot.
