No, we wouldn't risk that. We have a use for one right now and it will probably see the actual robot but it won't be on the drive train. With 6 regular CIMS allowed there is no need (unless you have a serious power need for a climbing device) to use anything but large CIMs on your drive train.

Novel design nonetheless!

I wish we had known as well, we didn't find it until JVN hinted at the possibility. I still can't believe VEX designed all of these features into the gearboxes and never talked about it.
