When the robot is moved with 4 CIM motors, the load is distributed among them. However, with 2 CIM motors, the load on each motor is essentially doubled. That can mean a few things. Mainly more current, faster cooking, lower acceleration, and less pushing power. In some cases it can mean worse turning. Now if you use an fp or banebots 775-18V in your drivetrain to supplement, you are using a motor that heats up faster for an application where it is used constantly and under high loads. Use the fps or banebots in the shooter and they will not be under high loads, and you can use the more durable CIMs for the drivetrain.

For reference:
CIM max power, 337 watts
FP max power, 291 watts
banebots RS-775-18V, ~ 275 watts

They are all about the same power, it's mostly about weight distribution and durability under constant loads that determines which is best for each application. Use them wisely.
