I believe he meant to say "a waste of power." the same torque can be achieved with one CIM, but it would be slower since the power from the second CIM is not available. I don't think it a waste of either. The amount of power provided. By a CIM would have been reasonable for the application. I do however believe that it is a waste of a CIM. CIMs are big. Big motors can disipate thermal loads far more efficiently than small motors like 550s and other similarly sized or smaller motors. 775s are also big, but CIMs are bigger. This makes them the most appropriate for applications in which they will stall, or come close go stalling for extended periods of time or applications where they are required to run for the entire match. A shooter, if designed and used propperly, is not either of thise things, but a drivetrain is.
