The other two CIMs are currently being used in the shooter and bridge arm. Definitely wouldn't have been my choice, but that's what we're working with now. We were originally going to make the necessary changes to move all the CIMs to the drives and put different motors in the other parts of the robot (we have already recieved the new motors and everything), but I have been told by my team leader that due to lack of support by Mechanical mentors, all mechanical upgrades are off.

If this really is the issue, I'm going to try and make a second push to make the necessary mechanical upgrades.
