FIRST has given us the most leniant KOP in history, motor allocation is trivial this year.
Agreed- I really don't know what all this fuss is about. CIMs are not jesus motors - they are powerful but the others are not far behind. For teams who are only using two CIMS on their drive- I am sure there are lots of teams who are reading these sort of posts and looking forward to ram-jamming your robots around the field while they go about collect balls. (I know I am) You would be better off running two banebot motors per side or a CIM and a fisherprice.... There are MANY combinations and some teams don't limit themselves to only four drive motors. The two teams I am mentoring are running 6.

Furthermore, why do you need to shoot 80ft? Sounds to me like you just threw reason to the wind and "Tim Taylor"ed your shooter.
