Re: CIM Motor Failure
One small correction - this motor was brand new this year. I was careful to ensure we had new CIMs in the competition robot, so this was definitely a 2012 purchased motor.

We had 2 CIMS go, one on each side, though this one was worse than the other by far. It is definitely worth some analysis to try discover why.

And yes, we drive them HARD!
